Good suggestions here. I'd just add that regardless of how diligent maintenance is, gravel wears out parts quicker. I probably replace chains/cassettes/chainrings twice as often as my road bike, and that can shoot up to 4x-5x as often if I'm riding in wet conditions. Which I don't do any more.

With rim brakes I wore through a set of rims in about 1.5 years on my gravel bike. On my road bike I have literally never wore through rims. My next bike has discs though.
