Yes I am aware hybrids, road, and gravel/adventure bikes fall into different categories. I found flat bars are ok for short distance. Beyond that it is very uncomfortable on the wrists.
I have Specialized Sirrus (flat bar bike). I installed SQLabs Innerbarends and they are a big improvement in ride quality since they come close to acting like the hoods on a drop bar. I am able to go longer distances. I suggest you try them out.
