I just wore out an 8 speed chain after ~1200 miles, easy and mostly dry miles.
Phuk dat.
Cross bikes with derailleur gears and hyrdro brakes take maintaining, I would rather deal with the occasional hub dip than regular cleaning/oiling etc
Also mud does not equal salt.
And den, GT won't take guards and decent size tyres, want to keep CDF nice, new bike makes most sense.
Ordered today.

TM pls, 11spd and hydro would be fine through winter. Think how many CX bikes are getting properly filthy every week with similar setups.
You just want a new bike...
