none of these things are best achieved through your frameset material
Lighter weight is? Not an end goal but it helps. As for the rest, geometry is not everything, and the Kepler is very much on the touring side of things, no?
I have done a few hundred kms on an U.P. and it's a fantastic frame, I didn't want to hand it back. I do wish there was a cheaper, aluminium equivalent.

That's the problem I find with gravel frames, the alu model tend to be on the porkier side than a carbon gravel which can weight as much as a road-racing disc bike.

Depending on how much clearance you need. The Trek Crockett is meant to be very very similar geo

I would simply ride my bike and enjoy it, taking steps to re-evaluate my moral frame work in believing a few grams weight saving, a degree to geometry will somehow change my interaction with a hobby i enjoy, looking to avoid the endless pursuit of consumption of new and different experiences and instead, become comfortable with what I own :)
except in the case of needing more clearance, sufficient clearance is essential to enjoying anything in life and cannot be combatted via self reflection, meditation and cbt.
