I use 40x9-36 for a road wheelset and 40x9-42 for a 650bx47 gravel wheelset.
I'm really liking Ekar, but I have been using Campagnolo Record 10sp and 11sp for the past 18 years. I had Shimano Ultegra 11sp on another gravel bike. I can't fault that groupset, it shifted fine and was very smooth, but I prefer Campagnolo thumbshifter and how much feedback I get from the shifters. Just my preference.

For my user case/bicycle I find that shifting and disc alignment is affected by how tight the thru axle is. Also, I'm struggling to find a good b-screw setting for both cassettes/wheelsets. I do have to adjust the cable tension when changing wheels.
I'm using shims for the rotor to help center it on both wheelsets, and was thinking about using shims to space out the cassette on one of the wheels

My road wheels are Shamal Carbons, and my gravel wheels are HED Emporias.

Overall, really liking Ekar. Some good deals to be had locally as well. Thinking about buying a 10-44 cassette for bikepacking duties.
