Is this bike too large for me, and to such a degree that I should return it?

I’ve done a few rounds of VeloFit and it’s somewhat happy after setting the seat to maximum depth, but I could still benefit from a shorter stem and a taller handlebar. The stem is already only 60mm though.

Still it feels a bit too long, and my hands prefer to move back from the hoods to be comfortable. Due to pressure on the hands I would like to slide the seat further back, but that would make the reach even longer.

I wonder if the bike might be a size too large, or if it's just an unfamiliar posture. I can still return it, but I wanted to ask you guys if that hassle is necessary and worth it.

Canyon Grizl CF7 2027, size medium as recommended by Canyon.
179cm height, 82cm inseam.

With the lovely new paint.

Oh and I was diagnosed with a stress fracture in my upper femur, so I can’t try it for 6 weeks.
