Sounds good, i'm doing something similar on a budget with an old CAAD 8 frame i had lying around, gonna use it for touring in Japan this summer. Just fitted 28c GK's and Hover bars, will let you know if it's made it more comfortable!
28c Gravel Kings have been a decent improvement over the previous 25c 4 seasons in terms of comfort, i'm 75kg and i've got them down to 60psi which feels fine. Not sold on the Hover bars just yet but the additional 15mm stack should help on the longer runs.
