No reason it can’t be a good road bike for you unless it’s really heavy. I’d peruse Craigslist’s for a road bike, every now and then something decent turns up.
I'm surprised a gravel bike has a 52 ring on the front. Honestly if you are going to do anything with the bike to make it "more of a road bike" is get some new wheels. It's typically the same drive train, just geared down a bit, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Otherwise it's geometry and you aren't going to change that.

Yeah, this is how it was sold to me. Geometry being the only difference which is why my main riding buddy who has much more experience than I do said to get some smaller tires (done) and maybe some new wheels and be done with it.
Also have a Garmin 830 and speed/cadence sensors on the way. Is a power meter necessary? Still have some looking around to do as far as what set up to get.
