GX rd was always designed to work with 10-52 cassettes.

Also their earlier xx and x01 were all later retroactively rated for 10-52, as they were in development along with the 10-52 cassette but came to market earlier

There’s a chance you might need another chain though, depending on how it was previously sized. And as others mentioned that last gear jump is pretty big, makes the dinner plate even more of a bailout gear
