The truth is that it is probably worth upgrading to 1x10 for you.
I setup my bikes for me. I need no affirmation. If someone thinks they would never ride it, I say good, you’ll never get the chance.
Just build it, ride it, and enjoy it.

Precisely. If people could just add the caveat "for me"...
I bought a nearly 30 year old bike and gave it a 2x2 drive train. Was it worth it? To me it was. I had a lot of fun building, and enjoy riding, it. The cost was minimal. Would it be worthwhile for someone else? I dunno. I post about it because forums are designed for sharing ideas and information. If someone wants to know how to do it I will tell them what I did. If they don't - move on to the 10,000 other threads available for comment.
