You can get away with one set of wheels just fine if you're open to the compromise. If gravel to you means just dirt roads and and unpaved stuff and nothing that's really gnarly, then running one set of tires that are 32-35mm for everything will be just fine.

Yes, and it also depends on what the roads are like. In New England, "gravel" is mostly dirt roads and I ride those just fine with a 38 GK slick, which also rolls fine on paved roads. And I ride 25s here on Martha's Vineyard on the road bike because the pavement is excellent, but where I used to ride in NH and VT, the pavement is often worse than the dirt roads, so the 38 slick becomes the one tire to do it all and therefore a single pair of wheels works
