i disagree, in my experaince around 68/69 is nice for long distance adventuring on multi surface for a hardtail.
I have 67 on my full sus and it's okay but I prefer the sharper steering for non proper mtb.
he won't actually ride any mtb, he's just a soft aussie who wants suspension for his little soft hands

Yeah I get ya. I read "adventures" as more adventurous than what could be done on a gravel bike with 2.0 tyres
Don't forget though a hardtail will steepen in use much more than an FS, so that cotic looks rad static but by the time it has sagged a little bit under @hippy 's weight....
He already has a gravel bike! Something modern for actual MTB adventures I'd want 67 maximum
