Your build might not be an "endurance" fit, but minimizing saddle setback and using a long stem indicates that the
frame itself is fairly slack and short for the build.
For example, my gravel bike, built from an old mountain bike with beach-cruiser-esque geometry:
On my "normal" road bikes I don't ride with my saddle pushed forward on a zero-offset post, but because the frame is so slack, I had to do that to achieve a road-like fit.
