In my opinion, you will not need an AGB for this setup.
I just provided anecdotal evidence from a sample of one. Like stated above, a rifle length has system has much lower port pressure than mid length and carbine, which makes it far less likely to need gas restriction.
I only have two rifles (one, really) that have actually needed an adjustable gas block:
The one that really needed it is a PA-10 .308 with a 16” mid-length gas barrel… when adding a Rugged Razor suppressor, the rifle cycles too fast to effectively eject the spent case. It cycled fine without the suppressor. Tuning with buffer weight and AGB gave me an operating envelope that could accommodate both modes.
The other gun has is a 10.5” 5.56. It works fine with or without a can, but I added an AGB just to tune it down a bit when suppressed.
