You know your own body best but I’ve suffered no ill effects from 100g per hour of carbs when building up to IM70.3 and subsequently marathon last year, and never felt like I was red lining during training or racing at that level of carb intake. I found I recovered much quicker from big training days, and had no major muscle soreness or fatigue from the marathon by that afternoon.
Works for me so I follow that pattern, but I know some people can’t tolerate gels or drinks.
