My buddy/LBS built this Rove DL frame set up for me during the peak of the great pandemic bike famine. Rival 1 drive train except for Apex levers/shifter, which were the only available set in the country at the time. Any significant reason to swap for a Rival set? I really like the TRP brakes…

If you like it, no need to upgrade IMO. Spend your money elsewhere!
How are the handle bars working out for you? I have drop handle bars and I find it hard to reach my brake levers when I’m grasping the lower bars.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Only reason to change drivetrain is if you need more braking power on long descents.
My touring bike is 100% cable pull everything. It’d also my rain bike and have no need to go full hydraulic at all. Upgrade when you find a good reason to or money is available.
