Input welcomed. The more I research, the harder it is to make a decision.

On your original choice of the Checkpoint, when I rode one there was tons of space in the chainstays with the standard 35's. Some have reported 50mm tires fit, but tightly. I didn't see where on Trek's website they said it only clears a 35mm tire, just that it ships with one. What was your source on the 35mm downsizing? I personally didn't pick the Checkpoint due to the weight, my preference for SRAM parts and I didn't like the isospeed on the rear during my test ride. I picked a Warbird V3, and the closest to that is really the Revolt so between just the Revolt and Checkpoint, I'd probably go Revolt.

for $3K you should be able to check off all your cycling needs but first ya gotta figure out what your going to be using the bike for and focus on ones tat address that desired need
I only wish I had $3K my graveler is a 1990's steel bike 7 speeds 26 inch tires and I love it Using 26 X 1,75 tires and it is a beast to ride anywhere
