Only thing to be aware of with that cassette is that SRAM took kind of a cheap route to making it - they just made the aluminum 50 cog 2 teeth larger and left the rest the same. So the 10-50 goes 36-42-50 and the 10-52 goes 36-42-52. 10 teeth is a big jump. I put up with this on my enduro bike because it needs all the low-end grunt it can get for seated pedaling, but the jump is noticeable enough that I went with a 9-50 on my hardtail.
The Shimano 12 speed mountain cassettes have much better climbing gear spreads, but then you have to deal with microspline which means a new freehub driver (and microspline is kinda fiddly tbh).
Transmission solved this with better gear spreads, but that's a whole new system you have to buy into.
