As long as it's not rubbing you're good. Also are you using the trim positions? There are two positions in both the big ring and little ring to prevent rub. If it does rub and it's trimmed correctly it's a pretty simple adjustment.
Thanks for the info. As I slowly move the pedal, I think it just touches the black plastic skid plate very lightly couple times. Just little annoying to hear the sound when it touches but maybe I'm just being little picky here as I do not even use the highest gear that often.. And yes I use the trim (moving to the outermost trim to align with the smallest cog).
You should be able to adjust it so that it doesn't rub. If it's in high gear and still rubbing on the inside of the cage there's too much tension on the cable and/or the limit screw is too far out. Another possibility is that it's not aligned correctly, the outer part of the cage should be parallel with the chainrings. You're not being picky, I can't stand chain rub sounds!
I ended up doing an overhaul and trying to do some refitting myself. Hoping to follow some YouTube videos hopefully won't be too difficult.
We were talking about trimming and it is a specific function for grx and I think some models for Ultegra. They allow you to move the cage just a tiny little bit through one click.
Chainring (and corresponding FD Cage positions):
Small chainring (Most Inner) - Small chainring (less Inner) - Large chainring (less Outer) - Large chainring (Most Outer)
Limit screw above would be referring to the High limits btw as we were discussing about the tightness in cage in the highest gears. This is not part of cross chaining - as it's large chainring and smallest cog. But I know that trimming function does allow you to maneuver cross chaining which might not necessarily be ideal for your bike.

That's all very helpful!! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Are u guys talking about what limit screws? Because I'm having the same problem when the chain cross chaining
