How easy gearing is has nothing to do with how many speeds, rather...how easy the gearing is. Speeds regulate how big the steps between cogs are, but again, Sram Eagle are no better than the Advent X at the really low gears, as the jump to the "granny" 50 or 52 is up from a 42T or 36-42‐5xT in all cases, much like the Microshift goes 34-40-48T. So even having more speeds, doesn't really guarantee a more consistent cadence, at least not @ the really hard gears...you have to look into it vs. declaring "10 = bad, sarcasm".
At the end of the day, going a smaller chainring on the Microshift (say a 30 down from a 32) will give you easier gearing (eg 30/48 = .625) that is really close to 32/52 and easier than 32/51T (but again, too close to matter if all you care is the low gear to make it easy going up).
Absolute beginners are in for a hard workout regardless of gearing. And reality is, with bikes you can always exhaust yourself: it doesn't get easier with time, just faster.

For example, microshift 10x runs on Shimano HG hub, so it's an easy swap to 12x (10-50 sram NX or GX, for example). Recon fork could be swapped for a lyric later on, or better. Recon silver has heavy steel stancions, but is otherwise fine.
edit: thanks for the downvote dipstick - very helpful!
I guess what I am really asking do you think it is possible to ride comfortably on a bike that might be slightly too big?
I'm thinking of building my first premium mountain bike.
Frame needs to be (well) under $5500. If this is a financially wrong way to do it, e.g. you can buy one complete bike for less etc. I like to wrench now and then.
Usage: trails and small jumps. Dual suspension wanted.
Which frame would you buy? Thanks!

This is is however better than currently available FS bikes at a similar price point. The GT is a much better suspension design than for example the Giant Stance 2 or the Polygon Siskiu D7.
