You're on the right track in looking for a bit more of a "blunt" or "U" shaped rim. The change in profile in the last six or eight years really has made deep wheels better. But I'll mention that its worth not overlooking the interaction of the rim and tire to help minimize the negative crosswind effects. By this I kind of mean the rule of 105% or similar. You're mentioning a wide 30mm external width, so with a 28mm tire, you'd be on the right track. This is one of the overlooked benefits of hookless on the road, but I'm not advocating that in your case, with rim brakes.
