Comfort and compliance

Hey guys, first post.
I'm about to buy my first gravel bike and was hoping for some input from the more experienced.
Okay, so I've been riding for a year on a 2019 Trek FX 2, this bike has no compliance and runs 35mm tires.
25 years ago I broke my pelvis pretty bad but hasn't been a problem at all until this year.
I enjoy long rides and built myself up to doing a 5 hour ride up to the Highwood Pass in Alberta.
Legs were good but I was in so much ass pain that I couldn't ride for a couple of weeks.
So now my question.
Being about 220lbs what size tubeless slick tire do I need to run 40psi or below, and how much extra comfort can I expect from the carbon in a 2021 Giant Revolt Advanced 0?
Thanks for your input and I hope I posted this in the right place.
