I have two Sam Hillbornes that are perfect gravel bikes and a Breadwinner G-Road, all three are 650B. Virtually all of the bikes marketed as "gravel bikes" use disk brakes and are capable of running either 622 or 584 rims. Many of them advertise that as a feature and show clearance for fatter "27.5" tires than "29". At the high end of competition, though, it seems virtually everyone runs 622. My saddle height is around 700mm and for 42-52mm tires 584 rims require no compromise in frame dimensions.
