Good choice, and certainly not over-biked - now get out and ride other stuff.

Looks really clean in that colour / carbon frame - plus build kit looks very decent. Should be a great allrounder - chunky fork but middling trail suspension travel.

Moving on my 170f / 160r enduro bike and swapping it for a 150f / 130r trail bike that has similar geometry was one of the best things I’ve done bike wise. It still handles the most gnar stuff I do (which isn’t hugely gnar - I’m middling in terms of skills / ability I’d guess) but makes everything else more fun. Easily handles BPW reds / red plus trails and I’m sure it would be fine on most of the blacks.

What about an all-rounder bike, 130mm rear but with a spare burly wheel/tyre set and/or a bigger fork.

Get a 4k bike, which will likely be really sweet, plus a Lyrik for say 600 and 400 for wheels and tyres.

That way you can burlify it for big away days and keep it fairly spritely for local stuff.
