Titanium can be a great material for mountain bikes. If you’ve settled on frame geometry that works for you and plan to tune out changes going forward.
My 2015 Ti Explosif was a great bike, and would still be a great bike. Setup very similar to the Enigma with a rigid fork and mullet wheelset. But, the Enigma is more capable, more comfortable, and more fun.
In hindsight, as someone who is usually chasing something with bikes. A steel Explosif would have netted out as a much more affordable, slightly heavier, similar riding setup.
