Are there any issues using non-boost cranks on a boost frame?

Just picked up a Nukeproof Scout frame and my spare crank's are Shimano M7000 single ring.

Should be ok with a boost chainring. Ie. 3 mm offset?

Chainline.  Easily rectified by fitting a suitable chainring.  Should be about it.

Non boost XT cranks gave a much better chain line on my boost stumpjumper than the boost ones.
That’s with the standard XT 32 chainring

Same as crazybaboon.  Boost rear hub,non boost cranks and ring.

Wouldn't backpedal in the largest cog with a boost ring on, is okay with non boost.

My non boost xx1 chainset would not work with my new boost frame( 2018 stumpjumper ) as the chain ring was to close to the frame . But it does have a lower Q factor than many cranks
