Hell yeah this is gonna be cool. Being in the process of making similar updates to my old GT, I have a couple of tips:
•68 mm BB yes, but you need to make sure that road crank arms will clear the chainstays. On my Palomar a set of GRX cranks has about 1 mm clearance each side and they hit the chainstays if you're pushing hard uphill.
•you could go for a fork that suspension corrects the frame like the ECR, or go for a shorter fork like a Straggler or Disc Trucker that effectively steepens the headtube and make the bike handle more aggressively. Mine has a Straggler fork and it's always worked great
