I know that, just I would like to have a bike that meets the basic requirements while not being crap to ride outside it.
A must-have for me:
Hydraulic brakes
Low gearing, lower than 1:1 gear ratio
Mudguard mounts
Wide tyre clearance with mudguards, at best 2.0+
Fork mounts for bottle/utility cages
Thru axles nice to have

This looks remarkably like my list.
Also want internal dynamo lighting cable runs and and 2x for my knees. -
Have a look at Riverside Touring 920, Sour Purple Haze, Kona Sutra, plus others like the Pipedream ALICE that are available as a frameset. Handy list here - https://bikepacking.com/index/drop-bar-mountain-bikes-29er/
If you only need 27.5×2 there's loads of options these days

There's no do it all bike, it's always a compromise.
