I have guards on my gravel bike full time because I don’t like to get dirty (especially if I’m spending a night in a sleeping bag or doing moon miles).
PDW 700x55 guards on 43c tyres, never clogged, real sturdy, keeps me and the bike cleaner for longer. They also have relatively long and flexible flaps so I can ‘send it’ (ie cautiously manoeuvre over cross drains on paths) without fear of ripping the guard off.
