Looking for tips for indoor training on a gravel bike (lemm.ee)

Hey folks, I am just realizing that the Cannondale gravel bike I got this summer is not compatible with my Saris Fluid 2 indoor trainer. I'm going to go buy a thru axle adapter next, but do you have any other tips for happy riding indoors with this setup?

For instance, can I keep the stock tires or will they wear out quickly on the trainer? What does "quickly" even mean? Like, if I ride for 1 hour per week, will I wear out the tires this Winter?

Anything else I should worry about when switching to indoor riding?

Thanks for any tips!

And before anyone asks: I will still ride outdoors as much as I can, but where I live, that won't be possible every weekend this Winter.
