SRAM GX 10 Speed with Roadlink?

Question: In "theory" this sounds like it'll work but anyone with actual experience using a SRAM GX 10 Speed Rear Derailleur with a Roadlink to push the capacity to 11-40 or 11-42? I'll be pairing it with a Force 11 road shifters and the most I've found online is that it's possible with some possible loss in shifting performance loss (which is fine with me, I'm not racing and so long as everything works, I'm a happy camper).

Thanks!

Double in front or single? Which GX derailleur?
ETA: Nevermind, I'd think that would work.

Looking at (and for) GX 10 Speed 2.1 Long Cage paired with 2x SRAM road shifters.

Wolftooth’s page said it can push up to 42 so long as it fits with the chain wrap which is why I’m going for the long cage which is hard to find right now..!

I'm running 1x10 setup GX shifter and medium cage rear derailleur on my hardtail MTB. I am able to clear 13-50t cassette (custom as I wanted a lower top end with tighter gaps) with an RD extender (generic, not by WT), but just barely.
