You should absolutely try all different kinds of bikes you can, including a recumbent or two. Ya never know unless you try them all. With a road bike, you'll have more hand positions available vs a hybrid. If you like the flat bars, you can get skinny-tired bikes that way, too. CX, Gravel, Endurance, they're all slightly different variations of a theme, but sometimes the variations are what triggers that "just right" reaction.
