I have a gravel bike that I mostly ride on the road - 46/36 up front -- and it works great. The only times it might be handicap relative to my race bike is on (1) a very fast and hilly group ride where I am fighting to hang on or (2) in a road race, where I would get dropped for sure on descents with 46 x 11. If the ride isn't almost entirely at 9/10 or 10/10 pace, I bet you'll be very happy with a 'Swiss Army' bike.
