I did it a couple of months ago on a gravel bike with 650x47 Vittoria Terrenos, good compromise but if I went back with a free hand on bike choice I'd probably go for a rigid 29er with something between 2.4 & 2.6" tyres and take the hit on the road sections. Depends whether you are a better descender than me!
My gearing was a lazy (should have looked at the route harder) 50/34 x 11-36 and I have since replaced that with a GRX 46/30 so you can guess what I thought about my choice at the time!
Epic route though.
