I have explored these bikes already, my main problem is either availability or costs - Pipedream finally has revised the geo and has proper 70 mm BB drop, but just the frameset would be 66% price of used Trek 920 that I could buy (let alone if customs add some toll for shipping to Poland). Adding any decent wheels and hydro drivetrain would make it cost even more. I have been attracted by Sutra for a long long time, but basically since 2020 the only ones I have seen available in Poland or second-hand in my size were the basic SE alloy ones.

Unrelated to your discussion but spotted you were Polish or in Poland and noted these guys on my twitter feed the other day: https://bikepacking.com/news/2022-rondo-ruut-x/
hippy
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
