Since it has a GRX RX-810 I was able to install a 11-40 cassette. 32 front and rear 40 should be deep enough of gears for most things.

Thanks for that Sean, quite interesting as the Revolt Advanced 2 is available here in Taiwan, I had checked the specs, but according to the Shimano spec. the rear RX-810 can only take a 34T granny, so I didn't think it would give me the flexibility I needed. However i do know that Shimano is very conservative with their specs. So if you have installed an 11-40 cassette then i will revisit that option.
Taiwan is facing the same shortage in bikes as the rest of the world, and gravel is not well catered for at dealers here. But the search is part of the fun!
