First, as sandyrs said, get the Sunrace 11-46t cassette, much better jumps than the Shimano.
I recently set up an 1X allroad bike with Etap, and 11-46t cassette and am currently running a 36t chainring. I use it for some pretty steep trails, and am very happy to have the low gearing and have not missed the lack of top end. I'm also running pretty big tires, 27.5x2.35. I'd say maybe start with a 40t or 42t and see how it goes.
I am a fan of the flared drops for this type of bike. I put a Salsa Cowchipper on this bike, and so far so good.
