so long as you get the correct type for your bottom bracket you can run whatever crank you want.

Fizik did a wheel-size specific saddle, so stranger things have happened.

Boost was partially introduced for 650plus wheels, so boost specific cranks with their adjusted chainline wouldnt be ideal on a 26/27.5 or 29 with 135mm rear end.
So there us some logic in the question.

Some of them will be fine with that crank an on others it'll cause slow and torturess instant death.
