When I switched to 2 rings up front with a bashguard, and swapped out the long cage in the back for a medium cage all of the chain slap, chain suck, and anything relating to the chain coming off dissappeared entirely.
If that is your concern, just swap out the cage in the back and shorten your chain slightly and you will be good to go...
my thought at this point is to get one of those blackspire stinger tensioners (what mount? the bottom bracket one?) and throw on a bash guard in place of my biggest ring.
Here is a pic of my current setup to give you an idea. X-9 Medium Cage Derailleur, 2 ring setup in the front with a BBG 32T Bashguard. Best setup I have ever had, have not jumped the chain yet...

I see you're not using a tensioner/guide of any sorts, just the bash... that working out alright? I definitely have problems occasionally with the chain jumping around/dropping in the front on some rough stuff.
