Dumb generalisation. 30%+ or my ride is to and from the trails on roads. But no way I want to ride the trails I’m on with a 100 mm xc bike.
Partly because I suck, but also that would suck.

I am kidding; i have fucking zero idea about mountain biking; no trails close either. All i ride is local parks and bridleways.
Please dont take me seriously.

Nope, you’d love it!
But I don’t think you need something quite so slack and with such travel.
Really think your best options are a Stanton Sherpa or a Cotic Soul Max.
Both a step up from out and out XC so more fun on the downs but not too sluggish on the ups, steel, 120-130mm fork, pedal well and as far as I’m aware can take a rigid fork for your looong events.Oops this should have been for @hippy

As @pastry_bot said, you have to get a bike for your use case.
Are you riding to the trail/gravel on road? i.e 30%+ of your ride is road/some path. Get XC.
