that sounds good then, glad to hear you have a grasp of that concept.
I'd still contact Canyon directly to see why the site says that a large cannot accommodate you. it's possible that Canyon uses an unusual sizing method and you can end up downsizing, but that will likely result in a lot of exposed seatpost (which is probably what Canyon is saying about the limits) and it could be difficult to get the handlebar high enough for you to ride confidently.
there is currently no consensus on crank arm length, so take any advice you get about that with a grain of salt.
