I frequently do gravel and tame singletrack on 33mm CX tires, so my comfort level might be a bit different than someone who straps on 45s anytime they touch dirt.
I've done the same with Maxxis Speed Terrane in 33C a couple years ago and that was fine. Gravel for me means packed and limestone paths and logging roads, with the occasional short connecting trail. However I have to ride on roads a lot to get to the gravel and those type of tires were less fun on the roads. Was wondering if tubeless 32C might be a compromise.
I might just play around with some GP5000 TL 32C for a while and see how it goes.
