Yup, I'm using that exact setup on my rain bike.

Isn't it noisy on the 28 though?

Probably but rated at 27t
p.s.- do not run your chain short! Ensure it can manage the big-big
combination.

Turn the "B-tension" screw CW to clear the largest cog.

I ran my Shimano 105 short-cage derailleur with a 34 rear cog. Had to be
careful with chain length, and the B-tension was screwed-down, but it worked
fine.

I run an Ultegra 600 RD with a 50/34 110bcd compact crank 8-speed system
and currently use an 11-28 cassette. Shifts fine and it will go into 50 - 28 but
with the chain that long there is a bit of slack if I were to use 34 - 11. But
small/small is a gear I never use, of course.
