I have a 2020 Jeffsey 29, 150 rear 160mm front, does just fine in the Alps and the UK, I looked at the Capra but think it's just too much for UK trail riding, youngest son has a Canyon Spectral 150 mm front and rear, perfect all rounder, my mates on DH bikes couldn't get near him in the Alps this summer.
I think modern geometry and decent set suspension a medium (150mm) travel bike is more than capable of taking everything you can throw at it.
I went from a Stumpjumper to an Enduro as my only bike and I frikkin love it. It's a very decent trail bike which climbs really well then bangs back down stuff without a care in the world. Who cares if you don't 'need' 170mm travel, when you can have it for very little penalty. Don't listen to the overbiked mob.... just get what you want.
