"Progressive" geo and riding rigid

I am looking to buy a hardtail that I want to have the flexibility to setup multiple ways. I want a suspension corrected frame that can accept a rigid fork and large tires. I am also wanting to try out progressive geometry with typical longer, lower, slacker.

My question is, how slack is too slack for rigid riding? The slackest rigid bike I have owned is a fat bike with a 68 head angle. Would a Pipedream Sirius be a crazy bike to ride as a rigid singlespeed?

Fargo Upgraded

I upgraded my Fargo with this trail in mind. New wheels/tires and wider bars.

The whole trail does not look like this, I rode about 5 miles of pavement and 2 miles of easy gravel road before it gets bad.

Before the upgrades I could carefully descend the trail, but could not climb it. With the big tires I could tractor my way up and descend with more confidence and ease.
