A pure XC bike sounds pretty much perfect for your needs. Scott Scales are highly rated but they have skimped on the cassette with that one- look for something with a 10up, especially for gravel races. I'd say they have chosen quite a few cheaper and heavier components to squeeze in the AXS shifting. Have a look at the Scale RC Team instead, full XT groupset is really *really*good , it is lighter than the 910 and cheaper!

The Scale is a great bike. As the new one has just been released (a few weeks ago) you can probably pick up a decent decent deal on the 'old' model in a physical store.

I know PF BBs largely okay and accepted now but consider threaded bb. Chisel, Epic etc.

@MisterTomTom
Looking for a mtb via the c2w/leasing scheme. My use case is mainly long rides and ultra races. Done a few gravel ultra races but 40mm tyres and no suspension wrecks my body after a few days. I would blindly get a Canyon Exceed but old fashioned leasing company wants a physical store. I know little to nothing about mtb geometry and such. Main focus is comfort for long days.
I'm looking at the Scott Scale 910 Would this be a suitable bike for my needs? I also like the fact it has electronic shifting.
