I've been riding Reynolds ATR carbon wheels with 35c tires (mostly Gravelking SK which measures 38 mm on these rims but more recently with Conti Terra Speeds which are a true 35).
I take them on wildly inappropriate terrain for what amounts to a road bike in eastern MA, including rock gardens, and lots of rooty trails. I've amassed a fair amount of scratches and get burps sometimes on really hard hits, but the wheels run true after a couple thousand miles of abuse and haven't chipped.
YMMV of course, but they've faired better than the WTB i19's on my other bike.
Edit: since weight is relevant I'm about 175 kitted up and the bike's an Allied Allroad which is about 18 lbs.
