  Yes indeed. The new GRX cranks have 110 BCD for the outer ring and 80 BCD for the inner ring.

  My advice if you want ultra-low gearing on 2x is to buy a GRX crankset and a GRX front derailleur. You need to get the derailleur too because the chain-line for GRX is 2.5mm outboard.

  MTB hubs have the same spline pattern but are narrower so do not require the spacer (unless you are fitting 8 speed or something like that)

  I also forgot to do that and it made the cassette rattle around! Remove the cassette and check that the freehub body is not damaged. If it looks OK pop a spacer on and you are good to go.

  Yes, GRX derailleurs work with 11-speed XT cassettes. Make sure you add a 1.85mm spacer if you are using an 11-speed road hub.
