SRAM etap confusion?

How much of mechanical components can one use to integrate with these electronic systems? Will the front and rear derailleurs from the electronic groupset work with my chankset and cassettes?

I don’t have a super helpful answer considering that I’d ask my shop to take care of something like this. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s hard to find something like an eTap derailleur or shifters that are 10-speed, considering that now there’s 11s and 12s. It might be worth upgrading your crankset/cassettes (the latter of which might mean new hubs/wheels?) for wider availability of 11s parts. Hopefully I’m wrong, and you can easily source 10s components and save some cash though.

I’m not aware of 10-speed sram etap components. First gen Di2 might’ve been 10 speed compatible. I’d also be concerned about mechanic disc calipers – they generally make the levers to be compatible with hydraulic disc OR mechanic rim calipers. I do not know if the lever pull for mechanical disc and mechanical rim calipers are the same.
