[Closed] Friction shifting 11 speed?

I've been using some gevenalle converted TRP hylex on my gravel bike, they're intended for 1x10 but I've had them in friction mode to run 1x9, originally I intended to only do this temporarily but I've gotten on quite well with them it in friction mode...

Today's ride was extra soggy with a bit more climbing and it convinced me I could maybe use slihhtly more range at the spinny end (currently 11-34). Now the obvious choice would be a 10speed 11-36 and turn on the indexing...

But then I did wonder if I could carry on using friction mode with an 11 speed MTB cassette (say 11-40) for even more range and closer steps, or would it just be a bit too nadgery?

Anyone done anything like this and have some insight to offer?
