Thoughts?
Its a very popular thought.
Its called a quiver killer.

I personally like bikes and am not interested in having only one,, but understand the appeal for other's situations.

If I did have 1 bike and 2 sets of wheels, knowing myself I would use the gravel wheels and tires for 80% of my riding, even when doing full road rides.
I'm just too lazy/not interested in swapping multiple times a week.

I can ride my gravel bike on paved roads a lot easier and better than I can ride my road bikes on gravel.

I would just end up with quality grsvel tires that roll fast and call it a day.
