As someone who rides a rando Taiwanese frame (Fuji) with an Ultegra groupset...buy a legit frame. I'd sooner have a reputable aluminum frame with 105 (or Tiagra) and get nice wheels, especially now that everyone sands weld so they're visually very similar to carbon frames.
The headache of dealing with random bottom brackets, not being able to find specs, random aftermarket plastic bits to make stuff work, 0 customer support down the line or stocked parts is not worth it. If you're not ready to drop $2k on a carbon frame don't try to cheap out, you don't get the best of both worlds; at least direct-to-consumer companies like Canyon offer pretty solid prices.

Sure, you could get a steel frame and campy for $1000 back in the day. It didn't have an 11 speed cassette (or freewheel), disc brakes, or index shifting though.

If you can afford it, I would also look at the Grizl CF SL 6 - basically the carbon version of the one above. It is $1799, but lighter and probably a more comfortable ride given carbon frame absorbing vibrations slightly better than alloy.
I am 6'4, 215 and got size XL. Their sizing calculator is pretty close from what I have read and the XL definitely fits me well.
