What are we talking here? I've been running a 32T and it's a bit too small given I've mostly been using the Surly on the road, especially now as it has aerobars fitted. Fuckin' love me some aerobars, I do!
Q-factor is less of an issue I reckon. I'm wearing flat shoes and I don't even know what q-factor was on the Middleburn cranks I removed. Forgot about Praxis and haven't seen RaceFace cranks on anything since I think my old trials bike..

I've already got a Shimano 24mm 68/73mm BB but I guess I can just fuck that off with the cranks. Will a Cadet M30 work for me though?
There's a 165mm set on ebay, but I'd need bigger chainring

fuck is an M30 BB?
Shimano Saint, 73mm, 165mm £229 though without chainring

Those saints are a bit easier as they're the older, symmetrical BCD with a few more chainring options. I've got a set of asymmetric deore and managed to find a 38t from somewhere on Ali express, I think wolftooth make a very expensive one too.
Praxis M30 BB is a BB made by praxis for their M30 axled cranks. -
Why not go for XT or SLX direct mount?
Some deals to be had depending on arm length and chainring size.

Bigger chainrings is a pain with the Shimano MTB ones and their BCD, possible but you've also got a wider q factor and usually chainline, although there's a couple of options for that. Hope would be good, possibly praxis and raceface options too.
