I'm running a 48t up front (it's a bit big) and 11-50 on the back, which is out of spec. I needed to run the b-screw all the way in, and very careful manage the limit screw to not throw the chain. Once dialled in, it shifts incredibly smoothly - better than my red AXS on my road bike, truly. Sometimes it shifted so quietly I wasn't certain it had!
As others have mentioned the left lever is completely wasted. It can't be used for anything. That would be my number 1 update request.

I'm curious what bike/frame you're running it on? I have a theory that the amount of b-screw needed to use it out of spec with a 50t varies a bit. On my V1 Cutthroat, it didn't require full screw to do the job. The only 'issue' I found in operation is that the vertical motion while moving in the last (biggest) cogs is a VERY tight fit. Originally I had the speed setting to high and it bound up a bit on continuous shift as it was traveling faster than it could self-adjust. I don't happen to use continuous shift much (if at all, old habits die hard) so not a big deal. And I also changed the continuous speed to slow as insurance and don't find normal shifting degraded at all. (no, I haven't done a measured test)

I'm using it on a Ribble c-gr. I find that having the b-screw all the way in gives some security without affecting the quality of shifts elsewhere on the cassette at all.

I have my 2017 Giant TCX switched over from R8000 Ultegra with the clutched RX800 RD to the eGR group. My cranks are GXP so running 42t paired with a Sunshine 12s 11-46 and a SRAM NX Eagle 12s chain (for now until the KMC x12 chains arrive). I originally purchased 12s Shimano chains but the inner width is too tight for the SRAM narrow wide chainring. The chainring is 11s but works fine with the 12 chain.
It's all setup and dialed in nicely. I have R8070 Di2 on my Madone and the shifting is as precise IMO.
I did use some 8 mm heat shrink tube to cover the cable connector to help avoid water ingress. If using a heat gun be cautious, the cable itself can easily overheat and get soft.
The point I wanted to let everyone know is that I would suggest checking the 3 T10 screws that face towards the floor. During my setup one fell to the floor. I added some blue thread locker and snugged all three. Unsure of a torque spec but the seems like they would strip threads easy so take it easy if you do this.

Andrew, can you clarify which screws you're referring to? (picture maybe?)

See attached for screws to check.
