I don't know if this is optimal but I have had this bike for over 8 years, something over 5,000 miles, and I'm on the original XX1 cassette except for the largest aluminum cog which I have replaced once. I did have to replace the 26T chainring!

I'd swap the chains every other waxing, not at 1500 miles, unless I am reading your plan incorrectly. This way each chain will be less worn overall. Use one, use the other, then wax them both, but remember which is #1 and #2.
