On road trips, I think the standard length is fine for four with luggage. Six with luggage can be a tight fit even for the XL and at seven you really need an external carrier. Even driving around daily by myself, I've never once thought I'd rather have the standard Yukon, but I have plenty of garage space so that wasn't part of the equation for me.

I have both. A 23 Tahoe and 23 suburban. I love the space of the suburban but if it was just me I prefer driving the Tahoe. I can fit both in my garage too

I have a Yukon XL and it's awesome comfortable. Because there is space for 7 people in the cabin and it's a huge trunk. But on vacation I still wear a box on the roof. In the Photo, by the way, Thule has the largest Box 650 liters)) Of the minuses, this is what you need to be careful on narrow streets.

Based on OP’s use case, XL/Suburban is the way to go. There is only a very small price premium for the added length. The cargo space difference is massive. The ride is appreciably better with the longer wheel base. And, though hard to believe, the doors are larger and entry easier in the XL version because of no cutout for the rear axle. Plus, 3rd row gets an extra inch of leg room. GM always designed the suburban/Yukon XL to hold a 4x8’ sheet of plywood; been a design requirement since day one.
Downsides are that it’s a touch more difficult to park; but unless you are in a hard core urban area, this is manageable. You will also need plenty of garage space.
Check my sig; I made the switch in 1999…never went back. Don’t forget those kids and nephews will continue to grow in your time of ownership.

Note my profile hints at where I'm from.
I used a Yukon XL as a NYC livery driver for five years.
In NYC, parallel parking a 19 foot long vehicle ain't easy.
In NYC, EVERY garage charges a $20-or-more surcharge on top of their standard rates for vehicles this big.
It was often enough that I had 3 riders and their luggage / equipment, that a Tahoe would have been a liability.
You said 4, possibly plus 2 nephews.
Since your profile doesn't say, I'll guess that where you're from, it's easier to find parking than in NYC?
If I had a family with 2 kids - nevermind 4 possibly plus two more - a Tahoe would NEVER cut it.
XL, without question.
I would go with the XL and also with the 2023 if you can. GM Authority has announced that GM vehicles will have a price increase of 18% for 2024. I have a 2023 Yukon Denali and absolutely love it.
Which article/link?
I'm curious when do people think GM is going to price itself out of its market? Stellantis has made this mistake. I thinking we're getting closer to the point where supply is going to match (and exceed) demand.
