My fork's 130mm so I think a 500mm rigid would be just about okay if I also swapped the dropper out for a fork with layback. I'm imagining that I end up with something like a Nordest Sardinha/Karate Monkey/Stooge or whatever but a little bit more LLS.
@TvH good point about the service interval... But touring on a Yari? It just feels wrong!
Maybe rigid is a bad idea

What length is the fork with 65ha, as if say 150 and you drop to rigid or 120 that will increase ha by 0.5deg per 10mm fork drop.
Unless premium gravel I'd run a suspension fork bikpacking. Off road takes its toll
Also Jones bars aren't the be all and end all, my wrists hated them.
Also I don't like weight on the fork or front end really, unless its just premium gravel as you can't maneuver the bike about so well.
