I think 11 speed chains are narrower (externally, rather than internally) which means the front mech could in theory have a narrower opening. My guess is it'd work in a pinch (11 speed mech on 10 speed everything else) but personally id get a band-on adaptor and re-use the 10 speed mech from the donor bike.
One option would be to give ribble a call or email about the headset. A word of warning ; I had a ribble branded headset once and it didn't have a proper split wedge (by design, rather than it being lost or missing) and the upshot was it didn't preload properly so there was always a wobble. There were better designs out there that fitted. (side note; it may not be the same headset type you need, and I have no idea if ribble now make better ones).
You could always just take it to a friendly local shop and ask - there's not really any labour involved in fitting an integrated headset as the bearings just drop right into the frame. The courteous thing to do would be buy the right headset from the shop, thereby encouraging them to help you understand which one you need.
Good luck.
