Should work. Those new style road FD's are absolutely miles better than stuff from before if setup right, got to absolutely nail the static cable tension though as the little 2mm grub screw 'cable tensioner' isn't really enough.
Same for MTB FD's, they started making a type that swing out sideways instead of lower pull or upper pull, way easier to setup, way easier to shift and cable routing is clean and gives excellent mud clearance. 2x or 3x would have sold in much bigger numbers for years over 1x if they launched that FD type a few years sooner. You can also run any of them with full length outer straight into the bracket, so good for a few reasons.

Yeah, I tried to adjust it while I was out riding and realised I had no idea what I was doing. A quick (haha right!) look at the manual and potter with it when I got back got me better acquainted with how it works but a straightforward cable clamp and limit screws is more what I'm used to.
Shifting it with a 105 STI, 7020 I think.
