Looking for some advice after a few years out of the saddle for the most part. I have a Cannondale Supersix EVO, and have thoughts about moving it and picking up something that has a little more relaxed geometry. My days of "race bikes" are pretty much over, but at the same time I don't want a slow bike or something too upright/lazy feeling. Are there still race-ish bikes out there that are a little more relaxed geo, or are gravel/endurance road type frames what this may lead me more towards...

I love my Gravel bike. It is my most comfortable bike I own. I am always amazed when I get back on my true Road bike on how much faster it feels. So yes you need 2 bikes.
  
Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

That's what I'm afraid of, but I guess if I only have one then I'd never really know how much faster I could be  Cheesy
