Fortunately just the bike this time. Chain link failed, and took out the derailleur. Finished my ride somewhat unexpectedly in Subiaco.
At least I got a good ride in. 46 Km.
So, expensive repair, or just bite the bullet on a new bike. I guess you can figure which way I’m going here…

Actually getting a (modified) gravel bike. With smaller tyres. It’s still a great ride, and has all the things I want. Carbon frame, disc brakes. Also has lug holes for a rack should the need arise

Hopefully will last me a long time…
