I really like my Fargo for something similar. It's done it all and has been fun throughout.

I'm semi-dreaming about something lighter weight that could still be used for commuting / bikepacking / gravel / touring, etc. and am really interested in the Lynskey Backroad. It seems to check all of the boxes for me and can be built up with 650b wheels, which would allow for up to a 2.1" tire. That would also have the added advantage of a higher rotational speed, which would help keep a dynamo fully powered at lower speeds. It's also on sale from their website right now for $1,100 for the frameset. It's very tempting.
