Manual Cruise Control (Rivian capitalizes it) is available when towing. It is initiated by pulling the right stalk towards you, and disengaged by pushing it away from you. All it does is maintain a set speed without regard to the speed limit or vehicles around it. So, old school.
So if you like old school cruise control and are not towing you are out of luck? You have to use adaptive CC?

You could put the truck in tow mode, which disables adaptive. I think it also disables the rear sensors.

What I meant was setting the following distance to the minimum. That way the vehicle won’t begin to slow down until you are close to the vehicle in front.

Have you read the R2 manual? Page 249 discusses that.
