Will a 46T chainring work with a GRX RD-RX822 (12s, long cage, 10-51T)?

Hey folks, quick tech question — I’m running a Shimano GRX RD-RX822 (12-speed) with the long cage version and a 10-51T cassette.

I’m thinking about putting on a 46T chainring (this one: link).
Do you think that would still work fine with this setup, or what’s the realistic max chainring size you’d say this derailleur can handle with that 10-51 combo?

Appreciate any insight from people who’ve tried something similar!
