Recently went 1x and bought the bottom bracket version which takes the place of the spacer between the frame and the outboard bearing. Has worked flawlessly and have yet to drop a chain. It's a bit pricey but was able to catch one on sale so it took the sting out a tad. No regrets
I originally went the cheap route and just locked out my front derailleur with the set screws. There was a little rubbing but no big deal. Finally switched to the 1x guide and I have no issues. It keeps the chain where it needs to be and rolling.
