Shimano 9 and 10 sp query

OK, apologies if this has been asked before, have searched and not found an answer yet...
I'm considering doing a 1*9 speed, because that's the shifters I have (and cassette), and losing all the extra hardware up front. But, I like the concept of that XTR Shadow Plus 985 rear mech, with the clutch thing to reduce chain slap.
Anyone know if that will give grief using 9 speed cassette and chain and M970 series shifter? Or do I really need to convert the whole shooting match to 10 speed to make it work properly? Shimano tech says 10sp Dyna -Sys compatible only, but then they want to sell more shifters, no?

All covered in the FAQs. They are not mixable."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
