29" front wheel upgrade?

[Lazy Biker 84]

With Canyon and I believe a couple of other e bike producers bringing out bikes with a 29" wheel up front and a 27.5" rear, has anyone looked into trying this out on their Levo?
Pros and Cons?

I have tried this with my levo and in my opinion it doesnt work very well, reasons
bikes like the canyon have the geometry compensated for the different size wheels, on the levo it makes the head angle a bit too slack and I dont think the bike handles very well compared to the two 27.5 plus wheels
now 29er front and back is a different story I like this, steering is nimble bottom bracket is raised a bit and minimises pedal strikes, in winter the narrower tyres on the 29ers run much better in the mud but it does make the bike a bit long
I will run 27.5 x 2.6/2.8 in the summer (with shorter cranks) and 29ers in the winter.............maybe
