I am just about to start my first gravel bike build and have the following in my plan. What do you think, are these reasonable and would you change something here?

All of this should come up to about
2724€ and
7206g.
Missing still is a chain (perhaps 250g and 40€?), bar tape (70g and 10€?) and the tire sealant (100g and 20€?).
Would you choose the same parts and if not, what would you change? Am I missing something obvious? My wish is to have the whole bike under 8kg and under 3000€.
EDIT: I have also reached out to Lightcarbon about their new LCG087-D which looks extremely interesting, but since there's no pricing publicly available I'm not sure if it is a viable alternative.
