I think I might keep my Giant now. I had planned to sell it to offset the cost of the new bike but now I am thinking the Ibis MX is great all round bike that can do some gravel not so much mnt bike trails.
I ride mountain bike trails with switchbacks all the time on my gravel bike which has toe overlap. Not an issue with good technique.
