Sora R3030 I reckon, triple for touring, but still big enough for roading.

You might be better off mixing and matching to get a triple Crankset.
9 speed shimano allows you to mix and match road/mtb and still has a range of replacement parts that can be sourced. But I wonder if 10 speed is a bit more future proof from a parts perspective?
Fwiw I did light touring using 10 speed shimano. Whatever the biggest cassette available was + compact + medium cage RD.
Not sure I'd recommend it as a permanent set up as the gear jumps and the huge chain don't feel as tight for normal road riding. However, as you need to prep kit for touring in any event, whipping off a cassette and changing a chain isn't that much work.

What's the ideal groupset for a do-it-all road bike? I've got a Salsa Casseroll, which is currently set up fixed, but I'm wondering whether I can rationalise my stable down to just that one bike (plus my dadbike for shopping). It would need to be able to do brisk runs out for fitness, plus some light touring, so it would need some pretty low gears for gentle ascents of steep hills.
