The biggest tire you can put on this bike is 28mm wide. That's not terrible by any means, but closer to what you'd find on most road bikes 5+ years ago. Based on competitor offerings lately, I'd expect at least up to 32mm support.
I do some light gravel riding on my road bike from time to time, and the roads get rough in certain areas too. I currently like 28mm in the front and 30mm in the back but also want more freedom to explore in the future. Old timers might remind me: this is a race bike, not an endurance or all-road bike. But even a Tarmac SL8 has 32mm tire clearance these days

What separates endurance from performance is more the geometry of the bike overall.. performance tends to have a shorter head tube which means your handlebars are lower and your overall position is more aggressive (comfortable if riding hard not not as comfortable for riding more leisurely.. the endurance puts you in a more upright position). Endurance usually has longer chainstays, a bit more give in the tubing to increase comfort, less aggressive seat tube and head tube angles, possibly a wider saddle.
As a beginner, I'd try to find an endurance model unless you plan to race and ride in a paceline with a group. But I wouldn't focus too much on tire width unless you need a wide width for really bad roads and gravel (in which case, get a gravel bike).
AR is Performance model. VR is Endurance. below is link for VR models.

Also, size matters. I am 5'7", ordered 51cm.
A beginner can use an endurance or performance model, granted they know how they want to use the bike and it's a good fit for your riding style. If you plan to do more spirited riding, primarily want to use it to ride hard and exercise, then a performance model can be great (even for a beginner). But if you don't really know what you want, then an endurance model is a safer bet.
You can ride long distances with either. The endurance model is just going to put you a bit more upright which some people prefer. Both will probably get you close to the same position but the performance bike will have more spacers below the stem (which is fine, that's just aesthetics anyway). I'd highly encourage you to go to some local shops and test ride both performance and endurance road bikes (doesn't need to be the same brand) and see if you have a noticeable preference.
Unless you are a competent bike fitter, or know exactly what size/geometry you want from previous bikes you've owned, I don't recommend buying a bike online. Being able to test ride different bikes in different sizes and get the shop professional's opinion can make the difference between buying a bike you love to ride and one that you hate.

I have local bike shops that start at $100. REI is available nationally and is staying $125 near my location to assemble for members.

May I ask what is the reach of the Devox Carbon handlebar the bike comes with? I have asked W&S but they said they don't have that detailed info. On the other hand, I received no response from the Felt's customer service either. So, I thought I could ask you as you received and set up the bike already.
Thanks in advance.
