Converting it for gravel later is also an option. For now I've no idea which one to choose, what do you think?
I would be tempted to fit 28 mm tyres to your Domane. As you say it's a new bike I'm surprised it didn't come with Bontrager 28 mm tyres to start with (as that's what the Trek website says they come with). You won't lose any speed and it will be more comfortable (lower pressure), which can make a huge difference on a long endurance event.
