If you really want a huge gravel bike get a poseidon. They accommodate huge tires and gearing.

Wheels
12mm Thru-Axle 32h Tubeless Compatible Rims Laced to Sealed Cartridge Hubs. Internal Rim Width: 26mm. We Recommend 30mm Tubeless Tape. Hub Spacing: 100mm front, 142mm rear. Minimum tire recommendation 650b x 42, Max tire recommendation 27.5 x 2.6. Max tire size can range based on the tread of the tire.
2.6 inches is a lot on a gravel bike.
My friend seems to like his.
Just got one myself. With 2.6" tires at low pressure, this is as capable and comfortable as most cross country hardtails with skinnier tires imho. I'm loving this bike - excellent platform to customize for your needs.
