What you described riding sounds more like gravel bike terrain than MTB. Definitely not full suspension MTB. I know people who enjoy riding dirt/gravel roads on rigid or hardtail MTBs (I'm not one of them), but I never met anyone who would choose to ride them on a full suspension bike unless that was the only bike available to them.
I love riding MTBs on singletrack and I love riding full suspension MTBs on trails with rock, roots and jumps, but give me my drop bar rigid gravel bike with 700cx42 tires for dirt roads and gravel.
