I mean 105 will be my size, so far rode CX/gravel on Sora and then 105, so I believe I will be fine.
From what I heard thru axles are a big benefit for easy wheel switch and it's not too easy to find a nice gravel with both TAs in this budget (considering I don't want alloy frame).

I think the biggest benefit of TAs with disc brakes is mitigating all the fucking rubbing and mis-alignment with QRs. You (hopefully) won't be taking the wheels off and and all the time, but you will be putting a lot of flex and punishment on the wheels, so the strength of the TAs will hopefully keep them quiet when you're bouncing around off road.

Exactly, what I am most worried in multi-wheelset approach is the likely need to adjust the brakes every time I swap wheels, so TA should make it effortless.
