Why don't you get the new Kipride Max and pair it with your 900x.2 or KipStorm Challenger as it's now called ;)
It's the combo I'm using at the moment. Kipride Max for easy & long runs and the X2 for interval and tempo. The X2 is a so called "non aggressive" plated shoe as it's not super stiff.
Do take note that the Max uses a new last so the sizing is different. I had to go up 0.5 from my usual 41 in Kiprun to a 41.5 for the Max.
If not you could take a look at the normal KipRide as that's more of a daily trainer than a easy/long run shoe the Max is.
I’m a 60kg runner with similar paces, I love the kiprun challenger (or kd900x.2 before the renaming). It has a carbon plate but also soft, if you go to a decathlon give it a try as well. I’m on my second pair, my first did 800km and already have a new pair still in the box that I’ve got on discount since it still had the kd900x naming.
I have those (on my second pair actually) and Vaporfly 4, honestly I think I slightly prefer the kd900x.2, I use them for tempos/intervals and some long runs, would race just fine with them. I just use the vaporfly for races because they were pricier.
I haven't tried many but the Kiprun KD900X.2 was a shocker for me. Accessible plated shoe at 120/130 euro. Fast, very light (my US 9 is around 900g), comfortable at all paces. Maybe a tiny bit unstable in tight corners, but that's the only complaint I have. An absolute gem for that price.
Other than that I'm enjoying the Nimbus 27 as always, but preferred the 26.
I'm a Wave Rider aficionado but didn't dig the 28s. I actually think 27s were better
I have the Kiprun 900X.2 (now called Challenger), and I run 6K races at around 3:30/km.
In my opinion, these shoes could work well for you if you have a fairly narrow foot. One of their biggest strengths is definitely the price, and since this would be your first carbon-plated shoe, it wouldn’t be money wasted you could still use them later for faster workouts, as they’re technically more of a training shoe than a pure race shoe.

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
