I have absolutely no idea what my stack and reach is. I've been trying to work it out for the last few days but to no avail.
I'm currently riding this aforementioned "T-Rex" frame, which is actually pretty comfy now I've put some wide risers on (pursuit bars prior). But the pedal/toe strike is less than ideal for a commuting bike. Another option is finding some forks with a 250mm steerer and a decent rake.

I'm very similar (except for long arms), I'd consider the large Surly sizes too long although 62 may be ok, but that's based on my preferences.
Do you have an idea of ideal stack and reach? If so https://www.cyclingabout.com/list-of-xxl-xxxl-bikes-for-tall-cyclists-62-63-64cm/ is my go-to whenever thinking about a new bike
EDIT: Just looked, the Surly is 6 cm lower and 2 cm longer than my ideal but within the range I've ridden (and enjoyed)
