Even when you get it adjusted it works OK for a while and then goes back to working like shi-t. There's a thread here with people reporting similar problems that want to switch from SRAM to Shimano.

I run both in 11 speed. No need for Eagle so YMMV.
Like the feel of the XTR shifters better but shifts more than 2 jumps are considerably slower than the XX1 on another bike.
Everybody is on board that SRAM shifters aren't as durable, but its guys/gals who ride a lot more than me (once a week).
12 spd chains also stretch too fast and the 46T for Shimano is more than I need. So I'm fine with my options.
Race day or chasing fast group rides, I'll chose SRAM over Shimano. But is more about the right bike for the ride than drivetrain.
