You won’t need Boost, per se, but rather hubs that match the spacing of your new fat bike. This is why I recommended 150/197 above - many more aftermarket options for a summer wheel set. If you end up with something designed around 26x4.6 tires, 29x3 will best approximate that geo in the summer. A fattie with 2 wheelsets (and maybe a sus fork to swap if you want) is all the MTB most people need for year round riding.
