No. I had a cross bike that you couldn't pedal through the turns and after one good smash, I didn't make that mistake again and rode for a while without issue. So yes, muscle memory develops.

But if it's that low to begin with, then that means it's really low on bumpy single track, tooling around in the woods and the like, and I don't want that either for sure. So if it's low on the road, it will definitely be low in other spots that are actually not talked about and big concerns too. I purposely went with a bigger bike, bigger wheels, for a reason. I need to get comfortable with my commitment to this bike and get over it already, which I am close to now.

I think it's going to be a 29'er x 2.15 Schwalbe if I plan to go out of state and do more road miles, and if not, I will put something with a low profile nob on it for doing more touring through Colorado for the remainder of what is left in this riding season.

Still interesting knowing all this stuff and gaining more insight every day :)

Thanks for all the help!
