what's your hardtail?
imo there is no speed difference between a XC hard tail and a proper gravel bike. The difference is in asthetics. Plus the xc bike will likely be faster off road...
I rode my hardtail out from beckenham, opened up another world.Pace RC529, fairly l/l/s 29er currently with Maxxis Minion SS tyres.

65 ha. A nice hardtail for mtb but perhaps not gravel grinding. Still probably good with the current weather and slop.
By my memory of riding this time last winter. Its shit everywhere and a cx bike narrow tyres would be best.
I did have a lot of fun in the first lockdown on 40c wtb nanos but everything was dry. I'd ride road out and mess about in north downs. But you take more abuse than on a xc hardtail
