there is plenty of tension already and it requires greater force to shift with the clutch.
That's my feeling and others will surely refute this statement -
I just did 3 days trail riding with the clutch off but I do have a narrow-wide front ring. I have full outer on the shift cable so it’s already a bit tough on the thumb, plus clutch is noticeable. I’d put it on for more extreme terrain.

very nice , i like a canti gravel bike aka CX.
chainbounce is a thing, but a bit overrated imo. i rarely engage the clutch on my grx derailleur. obvioulsy depends on the terrain.
edit as just seen post above : okay i see, you might want to get a narrow wide chainring and find a grx or rx rear derailleur, they are excellent.
