Altra Olympus are great shoes, but it's worth noting that theyre zero drop, which if you're not used to it will feel really strange and likely give you pain in your calves due to them putting more pressure on your lower legs.
If you want that Altra feel but aren't used to zero drop it's worth looking at the Altra Experience Wild which have a 4mm drop
Personally, I love my New Balance Hierro v8 and my Nike Pegasus Trail 5, which are very do everything shoes and are really comfortable
It sounds like you might want to go up a size generally in running shoes. Peg 5 Trail was reviewed by Runrepeat as having a wide toebox and subjectively I found that to be true.
The AG4 grvl does have a narrow midfoot and bullet shaped toebox. Weird fit. I think majority of shoe reviewers on YT have narrow feet anyway so most just don't mention aspects like this.
If the Challenger 8 is based on the Clifton 10 then it should have a very wide arch and generally more accomodating fit.
I might have to try those next.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
