@Pawlus this is exactly what I have in mind!
Some have suggested a 50 mm rake fork in exchange for a bit more toe clearance. I believe it’s doable but in that case trail would be less than 60. If I’ve understood correctly 57 is supposed to be the neutral amount of trail. For some reason a large portion of adventure/gravel/do-it-all bikes have about 65 mm trail. If more trail equals better high speed stability why do so many bikes in this segment (Genesis CdF, Shand Stooshie and Stoater, Mason Bokeh etc.) have such high trail even though they are perhaps otherwise more suited to medium speed riding duties?
