Not really a gravel rider, so not contemplating an upgrade.
Gosh I'd swear those were mounted backwards, but the labels clearly say L on left and R on right. I don't grock how the hands fit on those, unless they are just forearm rests.
The flat bars also look backwards or inverted, swept forward and not back, but perhaps you prefer that for wrist angle.
That appears to be a hugely long stem, I would guess a lot of tillering (lateral movement) when steering.
