If your 25% was serious gravel rides, not soft gravel on road rides. Then I might consider something with wider tyre clearance and maybe more relaxed geo. Then second wheels with something 40c and knobby.
That said, I find gravel bike geo on the road to be a bit sluggish, if you enjoy riding descents.

I'd go for a road bike and road bike geo then. Don't bother with gravelking their terrible fitting. Strada challenge maybe. I run 36mm all the time, fast and comfy.
I'd say get a strael but I'm biased.
