Adventure-Friendly World for the part that makes RPG-like adventuring a justified part of the setting

You're adding Dungeon-Based Economy if there's a whole industry associated with clearing the gates- people selling parts from monsters or things that can be gathered inside the rifts, manufacturers making specialty gear for adventurers, unions and guilds handling negotiations and support for the adventurers, etc

Thanks, and also would those mean making a trope for that setting be is redundant?

That depends- the important part is whether it forms a distinct narrative framework independent of those two tropes

I'd suggest checking out People Sit on Chairs, The Same, but More Specific, Tropes Are Flexible, Not a Trope, and Playing with a Trope for a crash course in what makes a trope vs a variation
