It's actually comparable, if not better than, bikes I own that were recommended for up to 6'5" folks.

I'd really like to try a steel frame. It's the last frame material out of the main 4, that I haven't tried yet. I'd be ordering from Wilde's site though.
You fit a bike with 618mm stack and 398mm reach?
I am 6'5 and that is too low of a stack height and too short of a reach.

Everyone has different body geometry, so that may work for you, it's just surprising.

A Fairlight Secan frameset is worth considering, as well as a Stinner Refugio Select. They have similar geometry to one another that isn't sluggish.
The Fairlight is extremely well designed and thought out, and has a ton of geometry options.
The Stinner is a MUSA frame.
