Disc frames and rim brake frames are totally different, cannot modify to each other.
The problem with rim brakes on carbon bikes is you need special pads for carbon wheels and they don't work well in the wet compared to alloy rim brakes.
It's ok to get even cable disc brake road bike since they work better in the wet than rim brakes. The only thing better than them are hydraulic disc brakes.
I personally would go for something like this.

Also worth noting even rim brakes have 2 diff version. One with center mounting hole and the other dual mounting hole to the forkThe problem with rim brakes on carbon bikes is you need special pads for carbon wheels and they don't work well in the wet compared to alloy rim brakes.

So it's abit annoying especially if u plan upgrade here and there.....worst is to upgrade frame. Macam macam restriction.
Like the above, or rim brakes or disk brakes or front mounted FD or use those clamps, di 2 ready (if u want to future proof) etc
3k, I suggest u get second hand bike ....service like new then use 1 to 2 years. Then change whole bike or go for custom.build.
Most important for the bike, it's not the component etc but please...please ....please for the love of God, get a frame that fits your size. Make sure u measure inseam in cm * 0.883 to get your seat post setup ( measure from middle of crank spindle to the seat post
Make sure you don't over extend the seat post. Stem etc can adjust later but also make sure the fork isn't cut and slammed when you buy. Else no way you can adjust the height of the stem later.
