Depends on what you want to do with it.
If you are just downhilling, a full squish mtb will be better.
If you are just riding groomed gravel, an all roads adventure bike will be better.
If you are just doing hard pack trails, a hardtail or rigid mtb will be better.
If you want to flex between all three, and add soft surfaces and are not focused on speed, a fat bike can be a good all rounder and fun.
If the soft surfaces are not too extreme a good compromise would be a plus size 3" 27.5 or 29r.
I like my fat bike because it can go from this
to this
to this in the same trip
Or, from this
to this
to this on another
