I ride really large frames and toe overlap is never an issue, but based on what I see from friends and family with smaller frames, it just isnt an issue for them either...like ever.
I can think of 1 time in an uncountable number of rides and miles with others where toe overlap was an issue- my brother in law and I were on a 4 day trip and he was getting on his bike so we could continue during the middle of the day's ride- he started riding, realized he had to turn around, and tried to turn really sharply while moving slowly. He fell, it was funny.

...but thats it.

On a gravel bike, I have to imagine you would lose traction before toe overlap is an issue when you are riding fast and making turns. A turn that sharp would have to make you fall from sliding out, right?
