Great write up Andrew.
I am still loving my Titan. Developed a creek, it was the lower headset bearing and by right BB cup that had come loose.
Replaced the stock banshee lower bearing with a Ritchey WCS gold bearing (not sure who makes them, but I like them), and tightened the BB cup, creak went away and hasn't returned.
+1 on the CC Kitsuma. It's been a great upgrade from the 2020 X2. I'm toying with the idea of lowering the fork from 180mm to 160mm and putting in an angleset at -1.5. Maybe when the headset bearings die again. Haven't had any issues with the frame bearings after a full year of use.
