I couldn't use the 30mm spindle in my (BSA) BB because there wasn't enough room for the Di2 wire. So now I have this square taper crankset that cost more than my Soma frame and fork. (I justified buying the frame to hang all these extra parts on.) Check out the GRX 50/34T crankset. $150 and it works better than my White Industries boutique crankset.

If you can use the 30mm one, I think that will be ideal. The one other (minor) problem I had was that one of the pins (that work together with the ramps to aid shifting) got pushed out a bit, and started snagging on the chain and throwing it. Once I hammered it back in, it was fine again.

Nice. Mine is now a bit more built up:
The next thing I need to do is get something to replace the borrowed tires/wheels.
