Old Potatoe knows far more than I will ever learn in 10 lifetimes. I believe him if he says it will work. Same for using shimano cassettes and wheels with campy brifters - 10 sp brifters with 9sp I believe - Bikes aren't magic and it is just a mater of mechanical gears moving cables and a chain with a guide. There is more than one way to do it and tinkering can provide many solutions. The manufacturer wants you to do it 'their way' because it makes them money and they can train mechs one way. That does not mean it is the only or 'correct' way.

I would follow Old Potatoe's advice anytime. He has never steered anyone wrong before, plus he can fly jets.

Chorus 11 is trash. Spend the extra $100-200 on Record. Or if your hands and wrists can handle it get Ultegra 8000.

chorus is not trash, its the same as record but a tiny bit heavier, save your money.

Pretty funny..unlike shimano, Chorus is Record with less carbon, SR is Record with more titanium and some ceramic..ultegra, altho compatible with DA and 105 11s, shares not much of the stuff above and below it. If you have hand and wrist issues, Potenza all day or Centaur..
