i have a few thoughts:
46 x 42 is not nearly low enough for me on challenging loose terrain climbing. i want and need 1:1 at a minimum.
if you think you need the top end, (which is questionable on gravel IMO, i ran a bike with 38x11 as my top gear and was fine with that, but admit i could have used a BIT more top end), than consider going to a WI ENO crank with 46/30 chainrings. that will allow a much more reasonable cassette stack out back with nice jumps between cogs.
