XT crank FC-M8000-B1 and non Boost Novatec D772

Just a quick question on this.

So I've decide to go Shimano due to pricing, and I found a set with the crank mentioned in the subject which is a 148 Boost from what I understand.  I did a bit of research and found the hubs I have chosen are the D772 which is not boost.  After reading a few articles, I would seem that what I will need to do to properly align my crank ring, which is as simple as installing spacers to offset the ring.  I found this information on the following page: http://www.oneupcomponents.com/pages/understanding-chainline-for-optimal-1x-conversions-boost-and-non-boost

Is this correct or do I need to be concerned about compatibility issues?

[UPDATE]
Never mind,  I figured this issue out.  Boost hubs are in the new 148mm standard axle.  The frame I'm ordering on Tuesday is 142, so it's not an issue.  The component group has the ability to upgrade, but it's actually a standard config, not boost.  So I am all good.
