Not sure if you are aware, but both FD and RD not only have spec's regarding the number of teeth on a cog/ring.
They also spec the tooth count difference between the largest and smallest, referred to as "Capacity".
The shimano spec for the Capacity of your FD is 16t
50-34=16t
52-36=16t
I don't know if exceeding this 16t will work, so can't recommend it. But the
Shimano 34t chainring is only $22 if you wish to (
with care) try.
I already have a 50/34 crank so I replaced the SS RD with GS and cassette with an 11-36 cassette.
This setup also exceeds Shimano's spec, but I'm very happy with it.
