potentially, I'm in the same situation.
"what would you use for GDR?"
I've used up 2 sets of WTB Vulpines, while I think they seriously rock, the compound is too soft, i wear them out in about 3,000 miles, rotating front to rear, etc...
I've had some email correspondence with Schwalbe.
my 2 cents is to bring something like furious fred to market, but with a more durable compound.
obviously to fill the gap between
a road touring tire
a CX tyre
a 29er MTB tyre
purposefully aimed at things like GDR
Leadville
and I'm thinking more and more of this trend becoming more popular.
gravel centuries, etc...
