1*, 2* or 3*

(Did try the search function, but for some reason it returned zero results for search terms, so hope I'm not repeating things)

Evening, I'm thinking of a new bike for daily and some long distance gravel trails here in Portugal and Spain next year around the Badlands courses. Looking at 650b wheels to keep the whole bike small, but I'm trying to research peoples opinions/experiences of going from a triple chainset to a 1* chainset. The gaps between gears are quite large and I'm wondering if it is just something you get used to or will it leave me wishing I'd stuck with a 3*9 setup? Any feedback much appreciated.
Thanks

You can probably find most of the issues in:

Have you already worked out the lowest and highest gear that you'd like?

Thank you will have a read of those topics.

Gearing, yes, I feel that a 10/51 cassette with 30 or 32 tooth chainring would be about right.
