In my experience you can usually expect to go a bit above stated max cog. While the RD-M310 is rated to 34t, I would give it a go with a 36t. I have a bike with a Deore M531 (rated to 34t) shifting a 9 speed 40t. That said hangers can vary and if you find it's not quite there then a short hanger extension (road link or similar) will get you there.
