No different than road bike sizing, a comfortable fitting frame is the same no matter the discipline, gravel bikes are pretty much road bikes with bigger tyres.
I have a Surly Pacer that I just stuck some Gravelkings on, 35mm, thus it went from a road bike to a gravel bike with just a tyre change.
Don't get sucked into sales jargon, buy a bike that fits comfortably and ride it. -
To me, a gravel/bike packing/workhorse/whatever is not a race bike. I'd rather have a longer wheelbase, bit less reach (including stem, handlebars, etc), bit more stack and wider bars.
Unless you already have a "comfortable" fit in the road bike already, that is

In my mind it should be fine - unless I’ve missed something about gravel bike sizing?
