Since I regularly end up on roads that have a bit of wet followed by roads with cinder, I don't want to push the clearance too much and have that gorgeous paint get eaten away or worse.

Fattest rim you can get in there will make tire less tall. Also putting a piece of helicopter tape on the back of the ST may avert or lessen/insulate perhaps a little boulder getting to the metal...
Clincher too. When I did up the 30mm Stada tubeless tubulars I learned that even on a 26.4mm wide rim, air pushes the tire taller, not wider.
The prescription might be a 700x21c rim with a 25-27, or a true size 28 most?? Clincher...
