For $2k gravel you will need a full carbon frame from a good brand to beat this deal IMHO. Canyon Grizl7 for $2k is very similar to this COOP except hydraulic brakes, they weight the same pretty much, both are around 24lbs. Unless you want CF frame or titanium for more money, or really want to pay extra for hydraulic, this COOP covers all the bases, plus you get local REI bike shop for support. With that you may want to check Poseidon sales, their $700 bikes were extremely competitive if can find your size/tire size
Personally I'd prefer the GRX400 shifters over the Tiagra, but that's because I like the form better for my hands. I believe mechanically they might be identical.
If it had GRX400 shifters and hydraulic brakes, it would be great for a new bike with decent support from a large retailer like REI.
With Tiagra shifters I bet it will shift great just like with the GRX (the deraileurs are GRX) but stopping consistency might not be ideal. Could be a "non-issue" for most, but after some 1,200+ mi on green/light blue MTB trails on a gravel bike - with a "full" GRX 400 bike, and many 1000s on MTBs, I would not go back to mechanical discs.
"Sure", I know there are hydro-mechanical or great quality mech brakes, but I find the former a "hack" and not a cheap hack at that (but it is convinient) and the latter too expensive (Paul Klamper comes in mind).
Overall, if you don't plan on riding this on steep trails you will do fine: most gravel tires don't have the traction to challenge a well shorted, dual piston mech caliper, so it is not an issue with absolute power, rather modulation and maintainance. And yes, sorry, I would challenge anyone to "show" me how it is easier to setup and MAINTAIN a mech disc brake vs. a hydraulic one from a reputable manucturer...unless you try to do it on the road side w/o a bleeding kit, that ofc is impossible, the hydro set is way more consistent, self centering and all that for way longer. No issues with cable or housing stretching, less issues with sticky pistons and complicated calipers etc.

The only $2K new gravel bikes spec'd with a carbon frame I know of come from Canyon, which a novice shouldn't be cross-shopping with an REI entry-level bike. Novice riders will need all the bike shop support they can get.
This is decent for what it is, but the sale price is more realistic than the MSRP. Biggest downside on this bike is the 10-speed rear derailleur and Tektro mechanical brakes.
I would stretch my budget a few hundred more dollars and be searching for a used bike. There are lots of people who got into cycling during the pandemic and are now desperately unloading nice Checkpoints, Diverges, and Revolts.
Its a solid bike, REI is great for maintenance/help, but the price isn't super-slick.

I honestly don't think the 10speed is a limitation, especially on a 2x drivetrain. And I personally have no issues with the GRX400 RD that I have put through "a lot".
I could see people prefering 1x11 or 1x12 for ... 1x but for 2x the available cassettes on most cases have the same range, be it 10s or 11s or 12s, and the difference is mostly in stepping between cogs than range.
And ofc nothing "mandates" that a 12 cassette won't have a bad % ramp between cogs: sram has really meh MTB ramps for ages, with their "granny gear" 50 or 52T being slapped on a 11-42 or 10-42 "11s" cassete, yet few ppl complain (i am special).
My issue is with the brakes not being hydraulic.
Also, on the used market, it varies a lot with the region. Here in SoCal, the used market is still nuts. Retailers discount MY23 and now 24 bikes to less than what ppl who bought their pandemic bikes ask for 2-3y later...they got the really loooong Covid i guess.
Price wise, this is more in the Poseidon or State brand area but you are getting Shimano 10 speed components instead of no-name or in-house brands out of China. So, probably more on par with some of Canyon's or BikesDirect offerings where you get better components... but with the added advantage of actual bike shop support, quality assurance, and putting the finishing touches on the bike before you roll out of the shop.
It's a 2x drivetrain which I personally prefer but that's going to be subjective/preferential. The only reason I might not bite is that I prefer steel to aluminum but when you are running 40mm wide tires you wouldn't notice much of a difference anyway and aluminum not rusting is a bonus.
You might do better shopping used, but this would be hard to beat buying new and at the time of this comment you have all sizes available. I'd ride it for a season and then upgrade the brake calipers and swap out for compressionless housing as you may find the cable actuated brakes lacking if used to hydraulic brakes.
