I have the other model; think its called the Defy but I actually love that shoe for gravel roads, way more than I thought I would. Pretty easy for me to use as well, no fitment or break in issues at all

My parkrun is similar. I got a pair of Solomon gravel shoes. Like a road shoe but with more grip - highly recommend!

I’ve tried on a few shoes with higher stacks while looking for a softer and foamier ride and it feels really unstable to me. I’ve been rocking the ASICS Fuji Lite Trails and Topo Mtn Racer 3s which have nice cushion but not the aggressive drop and I like that middle ground. I tried on the Salomon “GRVL” shoe recently (idk the model) and I’m feeling like this style is going to get more popular. The stack was massive. It was kinda fun but I only tested it out of the door on the road and can’t imagine it working for me. Even the two-track I regularly run is steeper and rockier than they feel stable on.
