It isn't a weak clutch on AXS, it's that the RD body has no means to help hold it against the hanger (like a tensioned cable or TRP Hall Lock) so when the chain goes slack and the clutch can't keep up the whole RD body swings violently back and forth slamming into the hanger.

Hit me up, then take my money. (y)

I'm looking forward to the wording in SRAM's official press release when their new Eagle goes live.....

1) "New and improved rear derailleur mounting design that dramatically improves drivetrain noise when compared to our previous version"

2) "New and improved cassette with a redesign of the two largest cogs' teeth profile resulting in perfectly smooth shifting into those largest cogs when compared to our previous version"
