This question is really about what your plans are for your brakes and whether bar-end shifters are acceptable to you. The bike has Tektro hydros. You could do the Hylex + Microshift Shimano Mountain 1 …

RD-M900 is old, you mean RD-M9000. There is no native compatibility of any kind between 11-speed STIs and Shimano mountain 11 rear derailleurs. You could do this with a Jtek Shiftmate 8 and RD-M9000-S …
