I only realise now that the crankset is GPX, so I guess this crankset is neither compatible with a BBright bottom bracket nor with an Ultegra FD-R8000 derailleur, what do you think?

There is no true GXP (22/24 mm spindle) crankset on AliX. When they refer to GXP they mean that the spider interface is 3-bolt SRAM. It has nothing to do with the spindle diameter, which can be 24 or 29mm. If the crankset you will choose has 24 mm spindle and says GXP, it means that the spider interface is 3-bolt. The spindle will fit in your current setup with BBRight for shimano spindle that you are currently using.

AliX sellers often refer to 3-bolt spider standard as GXP. These chainrings would work, although I suggest you to order a 3-bolt spider that is compatible with Shimano 110 BCD design. In this case you can use your own Shimano chainrings which have much better shifting perfomance than this crap. Or look up "Pass Quest" chainrings, they have plenty good options.
