I bought this bike a year ago, this one’s a Ciclocross bike, and I use this for everything (for my usual loops around the lake and having fun in the trails, up to this point it has worked perfectly, but I would like to make some logical upgrades to it.
This a completely stock bicycle besides the gravelking tires and saddle.

Would first ditch the pedal straps and replace the shifters for a set with cables underneath the bar tape. Get some comfy gravel handlebars while you’re at it (flat tops and slightly flared). Maybe a tubeless setup if you don’t have that yet.
I have a very similar Volpe and I put on a Salsa Cowbell handlebar for bikepacking.
