Another vote for SKS Speedrockers if your frame has no mounts. They came with bits of clear tape to protect the frame but found them too small so used electrical tape which seems to work well.
Other bike has SKS Chromoplastics which do require mounts but more solid and come in a variety of widths. No rattles with either.
I'm also a big Bontrager NCS fan. They are better designed and built than any of the SKS guards I've had. They are silent, stiff, much easier to fit. But, they don't do over about 40mm tyre 🙁
I've fitted these recently 45mm I think they say

Can't believe I never tried before but I've just offered a 29er mud hugger up to the rear if my Camino and it looks like it would be spot on. It sits to the outside of the stays but doesn't go outside if them. Just as on the MTB the guard sits to the inside of the stays.
SKS al 46 here used most days to get to/from work on a mix of road , footpaths, and on chunkier trails on my days off
DP again

Had a set of SKS Speedrocker on both mine and the GF's gravel bike. Worked well and they're fairly quick to fit/remove. Saying that I've not used them in over 18 months or more..... The joys of being in Italy, I guess.
