How much of a pita is the downtube bottle cage being mounted to the access hatch in practice? Does it rattle annoyingly? Is it likely to get worse with age/use? It does seem like a potential problem on a gravel bike exposed to rough terrain.
Still I guess you could just tape or glue the hatch shut if it is a problem. The whole storage box inside a CF frame seems a gimmick anyway.

Mine does rattle our of the box so im looking for the options to silence it. Will try rubber seal and see if it helps

Here's the chainring clearance with a 44mm Wuzei 4.2mm offset chainring with a SRAM Force E1 wide crankset.

It's just shy of 4mm clearance to the chain stay.
46T will fit fine, 48T might just fit into the space made for the chainring, probably with tight clearance.
