this is what i do. i am curious to swap (in both chases) to bars about that width (or maybe 2cm narrower) but with a 12ish degree flare like the enve aero bars.

I went from 38cm road bars to 44cm 12deg flare Easton gravel bars. They both work. The wider option is almost certainly better for actual gravel riding. I don't feel any disadvantage on the road. The flared drops still feel weird to me and I don't use them so much (but also, who's riding around on the drops most of the time except people with a bad bike fit or whatever).

I'm with you. I ride 38cm on road so 40cm just fine.
It's current incarceration will be winter bike so expect 75% road, 25% off road.
