Yes, the steel bumper does not have the plastic filler piece like the plastic bumper has. Totally normal and room for a winch!

Mount a winch to hide the gap.

That's where the winch goes, silly.

I used the trim from the plastic bumper to fill this space

Thanks gents! I’m a silly goose I figured I’d I didn’t factory order winch they would drop a block off plate, thank you !!

The new grill doesn’t come down as far as your prior one.

Looking at your picture I thought, that is unacceptable! I then went out and looked at mine and it looks exactly the same.

My '21 JLUR came with steel bumpers and the plastic trim piece. I modified my trim piece when I installed a winch

These things already run hot when driven hard, more air flow is a good thing.

See that’s the downside of this forum. All the things you were happily oblivious to until someone pointed them out.
