Likely yes. For CX season, I run 38, 40 and 42T chainrings with an 11-32 cassette. I can't run the same length chain for the 38 and 42.

I'm pretty sure you can use a chain that works with 42t also with a 38t.
SRAM 1x mechs will do that, and all other rear derailleurs are 2x and will do a much bigger difference too.
