No, the optimal UK gravel tyre is 33mm, exactly the same as the UCI CX tyre upper limit. This is pure coincidence, determined through many hours of testing, and nothing at all to do with Stockholm syndrome. And that's why so many mountain bikers run 33mm tyres, because they provide optimal grip in all circumstances.

Based on my recent experiences with Dugast Small Bird tubulars, I think 36mm is the sweet spot.
Those extra 3mm make all the difference.
