Hi everyone!
I am interested in buying a Cube Nuroad Pro with the Shimano Cues 1×11 (40 and 10-50 on the rear).
Does anyone have experience with the Cues? Is it a good transmission? How worse is compared to the GRX?

Not familiar with that frame. The 1×11 Cues is great, I think it is great value for the lower cost. It will shift reliably and last a long time. My experience is on a Salsa Journeyer with the Cues system.
If budget is a big concern Cues is great. Just go with it and know it is functionally great and will be for a long time. The biggest thing I noticed is the tiny bit of additional weight and a little slower to shift. Neither were enough to care for me.
If budget is less of a concern the GRX will be a little quicker to shift, it should be a little lighter, and overall feel a little bit more polished.
I really like Cues lineup,and am happy that Shimano has implemented it. Also that they have begun to slim the lineup some. The GRX system is a well established and polished driveline though.
I have the bike as an FE. It’s really cool, the gearshift shifts easily but compared to a mechanical 105 it’s a bit slow and doesn’t like to be under pressure. But you get used to it very quickly.
Also, I’ll probably go to 42 in the front, even if it’s not a huge difference from the 40.
I really like the bike itself but there are a few things I wish were different
