Going from 1x to 2x (for gravel and in general)

[RacerJRP]

I really tried to like the wide-range 1x drivetrain on my gravel bike, but it sucked. Just always in the wrong gear.

Love my 2x gravel and all-road setups. 1x for CX and MTB make perfect sense and have been setting up that way for 15+ years. I can even get behind 1x for the vast majority of TT race bikes. Road, all-road, and gravel are still best served by 2x IMO.
