I'm probably gonna size down the crank length from 170mm to 165mm as well since I have shorter legs.
54 is very small for someone nearly 5'11" tall.
The problem with going to a small size because of short legs is that you have the torso of someone 6' tall and you are trying to ride a bike with horizontal reach for someone 5'6" tall.
You have this bike so it is worth trying to get it to work. Start by moving the saddle all the way back to give you reasonable set back and use up some of your extra reach and use the .883 formula or equivalent to set the saddle height. Then see how the reachnis and if a longer stem or higher stem placement will work.
