Should be fine, I ran similar for a while. Only thing that hampered it was my tendency to get rear mechs from the spares bin at my LBS.

Pretty much what's on my Stooge Tony. Works fine.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: 1 x gearing question
Should be fine, and doesn't even need to be long cage mech. Don't know if you're meaning a new deore rear mech or an older 10 speed one, if older (36t max) then might be worth using a sunrace rear mech extender for £7.99.

I managed with just a longer B screw when I did this i would try that first as it costs pence
Re: 1 x gearing question
When you say "tourer" do you actually mean tourer, as in mostly road riding? I'd have thought 32/11 as highest gear could be a bit frustrating at times?
(Sorry, I'm a bit old-school on tourers and prefer a triple or double up front)

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

second the longer b-screw, I managed to clear either a 40 or 42 tooth cog on a 1x9 system with an old Deore M592 (can't remember). Worked well, suspect it would work here too.
