I believe so, maybe you should consider adding certain attributes to your AM though. Maybe a Dh front tyre? Chain guide? large disc rotors? also a durable wheelset such as the mavic deemax`s are a great example of tough AM wheels that are tubless compatible
As above, used my intense 5.5 (with triple rings up front) at stiniog and had no probs, just needed good line choice and a bit of vision to avoid the really bad bits of trail. An AM bike will handle it all fine, what it won't do is give as much help when it goes wrong.
Enduro Evo and SB6c with dual crown DH fork, coil shock and DH wheelset/tires is not really an AM bike though, it's an AM frame with DH parts. Pedaling those things uphill would suck but obviously they would be amazing on the down (same as a Banshee Darkside).

^ +2 on this. for me an all mtn/endur0 bike has a max travel of 160mm. not 180+
Well it's safe to say you could ride the same sort of tracks that Graves slays during EWS. Maybe stay off the pro jump line, but if you were good enough to be riding that you probably wouldn't be asking this question. (that's said humbly, I will likely never be good enough to ride tracks like that lol)
