Do you think trail in the range of 61-65mm is reasonable for an all-road/gravel bike?

I do. I probably lean different than most on front ends. For me, I'll take lower turn in stability over flop. But some pilots don't notice any of this. It just take a bit more intuitive CG positioning on the bike with lower trail when you hit soft stuff, especially into soft turns IMO.
In more extreme terminology, I call 70+ trail choppers.
When I got a disc CX I use on gravel and as Allroad, I went Boone over Crux. Crux more choppery to me. Better or off road maybe, not for on IMO.
But as I said, my GyroScope plays a part. So my comments should be taken as subjective.
Off road, IMO if you are going to stay seated or can't move around a lot to keep VG centered comfortably, I'd say the more choppery/lax front end = stability.
