You have waited 30 years for this, so why hold back on some of the best improvements over that period? 105 R7000 is good, but electronic shifting is next level and no cables is a big plus on modern internally routed frames.
Yep. You can get a carbon fiber Canyon Endurace with 12sp SRAM Rival AXS for $3k, or 12sp 105 Di2 for $2700.
These are both above the OP's stated budget, and not the preferred frame material, but I'd definitely be getting one of those instead.
