The new GRX hoods are long, so size down a stem to maintain the same reach

Dunno about gravel ones but I’ve got Ultegra R8070 and they’re very compact. Smaller than my sram mechanical ones.
I think R8050 may be the non di2 version -
Shimano offers 105 (R7025) and Ultegra (R8025) levers in smaller sizes, which are compatible with 11 speed GRX derailleurs.

Those with smaller hands and/or wrist/arm/shoulder injuries how do you manage with the current crop of shimano hydro hoods? I did a 2 hour off road ride on the 105 hydro levers yesterday and my hands were fucked!
I don't have the biggest hands in the world, plus have broken wrists, collarbone and separated shoulder in the past couple of years.
