Transam, Transcon, LEJOG, LEL, RAAM, PBP, etc. etc. - nobody serious uses much wider tires than you'd expect - 28s maybe 30s are the max.
FKT is the market differentiation term for "course record" so bikepacking racers could have their own thing too.
Interesting side note; the wider Heine's tires have gotten, the slower his PBP times have become, his fastest time being on 700cx30mm tires.
