Those devices will still prevent the chain falling off.

I’m a fan of the N-Gear Jump Stop with my triple ring setups, but that one seems to be unavailable these days.

@dddd didn’t mention adjustment of the FD low limit, which should be set so that the chain just clears the inner cage plate when in the lowest gear (small chain ring, biggest rear cog). Then increase that clearance only as necessary to get a reliable downshift in front. Check that for a variety of rear cogs.

I’d also suggest verifying that your chain is the shortest possible. I like “big cog-big ring + 1” with my 8-speed Ergo systems. I noticed that the following video has a section specifically for Campy.
