If that is the max saddle height you can get on that bike with that seat post then that might be too small for your 36" inseam. Assuming 172 mm pedals, then I'd think you need something that will give you somewhere around 31.5" to 32.5" of saddle height from the BB center.

And be sure you watch for that max extension mark on the saddle. Even if not worried about it blowing up on you, then it may start annoyingly rocking back and forth while you ride or cause creaks that will drive you nuts.

If you are going to be riding a touring bike for actual touring rides for hours on end, then reach from saddle to bars will be one of the other things you need to consider.

I rode a 25" (seat tube length from BB center) Schwinn Varsity for over 35 years comfortably and I only have 34.5" inseam. Though now I know the bike was oversize for me.

One way to measure your inseam is to stand close to and facing a wall you don't mind putting a mark on. The pull a carpenters square, a large book or something rectangular or square snug into your crotch keep one edge flat on the wall. Then put a pencil mark on the wall and measure that mark to the floor

Don't wear platform shoes or stilettos. Otherwise, I'm not a stickler for shoeless or not.
