The bottom barrel components are not going to like abuse. Frame is probably over built steel so that may be survive abuse.

Look past the "double disc brakes", any decent rim brake will stop better than cheap disc brakes.
The threaded headset and the freewheel hub won't stand up to the abuse.

For a budget modern gravel bike, it should at least have sealed cartridge bearing wheel hubs with freehub rear cassette, sealed cartridge BB bearings, and threadless headset with sealed cartridge bearings. 1x drivetrain would be advantageous as cheap as these go, having less # of parts will be beneficial. These would be more expensive, probably at least $350 but is sure to stand up to the abuse of gravel riding.
