Sure, it's likely that my tire pressure was too low when taking my cross bike in places it had no business going, but any thoughts one whether carbon rims are more durable than aluminum rims?

They 'can' be but if you hit something hard enough, the carbon 'lip' will break/crush/splinter rather than bend(tubeless? No mas air in tire). Not going to fix that easily(at all?)..where there's a chance you can bend a aluminum sidewall around a little bit.
