Can you expand on this? Sorry, but this is all a bit new to me. I assumed it would be best to replicate the contact points, especially as I am prone to niggles when I change anything on my normal setup even by a few mm’s.
TTM-
Replicate contact point, making sure saddle to bb distance, saddle to bar etc is spot on, yes that's a must.
But to make your gravel bike to fit exactly like your road bike (handlebar low as possible, same handlebar width, etc.) will likely to result in you not enjoying it as much as your road bike when your fit is specific to that bike, and thus feel like it should respond as well as your road bike.
My advice is to not worry too much about trying to make it exactly the same, some gravel bike are design to work best with wide bar, short stem, off road, etc. and usually force you to ride differently to how you ride your road bike.

Big gravel trucks handle better when the going gets tough.

If you’re gonna try and match the fit to your race bike, you may end up not liking it.
