XTR = Shimano engineered to fall apart quickly and cost most to replace. But it is lighter....

With SRAM 11 and 12 speed and Shimano 11-42 11 speed, I have gotten years out of cassettes by changing chains at 0.5%. These cassettes are all steel except for the largest cog, which is aluminum.
This strategy worked less well on the Shimano 11-46 11 speed cassette, which has the second-largest cog out of aluminum in addition to the largest. I only got I think 3 chains out of that cassette before the second-largest cog started skipping.
XT and XTR 12 speed have multiple alloy cogs, so it’s possible that a shorter cassette life is something you can expect. Nonetheless, I would try a new chain at 0.5% and run the cassette until it skips.
And if I was looking for more durability from Shimano 12 speed, I’d go with the SLX cassette, which only has one alloy cog, or Deore which is all steel. Obviously these come with a weight penalty (SLX 10-51 is only about 60 g heavier than XT, though).

My ‘18 XTR 12 groups (I have two) have outlasted anything I have ever owned, now that I think about it. The derailluers are way more robust than the XT’s, IME.

XTR cassettes are made out of cheese. Soft cheese.

After using pretty much everything, I've found that XTR and X01/XX1 chains are worth it. They last noticeably longer than the level below with proper maintenance... no cheese sauce needed.
The high-end shifters are always worth it, and the derailleurs seem to take misfortunes better. Everything else comes down to weight or bling.a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I agree the high end shifters feel great. However, the only downside to the XT/XTR 12-spd shifters that I’ve seen is broken pivot springs resulting in no downshifts and finishing the ride in a single gear. Not real predictable either.

Any recommendations for a pump that never leaves the car? Points awards for smaller form factor and efficient inflation for 80% MTB tires and 20% high volume gravel tires. Nothing more than 40 PSI. Open to, but skeptical about electric options. Especially if they require a proprietary battery and aren't USB rechargeable.

I hate Lezyne, but I do really like my CNC Travel floor pump. It’s life’s in the car for years. Zero issue, puts out as much air as my full sized floor pump. I’ve used it to fill my Airshot to 130psi without straining it.
If it weren’t for inertia, I’d change out the chuck for something not threaded.
Honestly, the fact that it lies flat makes it a better car pump than anything else hands down.

I have a Blackburn High Volume pump (presta only) with a huge (so big) pressure gauge. Seats tubeless tires well, only goes to 50 or so PSI. Got it at Jenson factory store in Corona discounted. Has a bottle opener and you can replace the handle with a handlebar if you're into that kinda thing. Favorite pump so far, lives in the boot.
