Yea I had a look today. Reckon you could squeeze a 32 on a 700 rim in there.
No point canibalising the Arkose market I guess by making it 650 friendly.

Back of wheel will struggle with 32mm given how low the "brake" bridge is.
Would strongly recommend a flat bar hybrid with a child seat, like a Pinnacle Lithium that can easily accept 650b if needed.
Given how you like to ride, the Trek Zektor felt closer to a track bike with a flat bar, disc brakes and variable gears;

Here’s the clearance, with the tyres (measures nearly 30mm, not pictured), it’s a tight squeeze to fit mudguard on, you can see how the fork remain the same width the further you go down.
Have to says it’s a cracking bike, but more of a road endurance geometry than a gravel geometry.
