I use a 46x11 on my gravel bike and it's plenty for 99.9% of the time. I'd also rather have an 11-33 or thereabouts.
I do like the 46/33 crank option as well.

Since this new crank appears to have a 110bcd bolt pattern, you can easily duplicate the 46/33 gearing by buying TA Specialties chainrings as they offer a 33t chainring. I’ve been using 48/33 for years. Works well and feels like you lowered your rear gearing by one cog. So if you’re using say a 12-28 cassette, it feels like you have a 29t instead.
Of course, YMMV!
Good Luck!
