Giant TCR riders, exposed seatpost?

I'm considering a TCR Advanced Pro, waffling between the 1 and 2 builds. Anyways, from a stack/reach/front center perspective, I'd ride a M/L, but that makes for about 250mm of seatpost exposed (790 saddle height-40mm saddle-500mm seat tube=250mm exposed). Is that normal or excessive for these frames? My mountain bike has 266mm of exposed post and my current gravel bike has 160mm exposed.

If you ride a recent TCR, how much seatpost is exposed? With 250mm sticking out of mine, I feel like I'd be pretty close to the min insertion of a 350-375mm seatpost.
