What kind of profile are you looking for?
Could a lightwieght XC-rim/wheel be an alternative or do you want a higher "aero" profile?

You can use a MTB rim if you want to. Why not? It won't be high, but at these widths the aero-benefit is probably very low...

Elite wheels have rims up to atleast 30mm internal in their mtb range. They can build custom wheels upon request with rims, spokes and hubs of your liking.

I'm running a non boost carbon XC wheelset on my gravel bike, ca 1450gr/pair i25/ext33 wide and 35mm high.
Picked them up at a sale in a local retailer for ~$100 a few years back, pretty good wheels for that money.

The aerogains of higprofile on a gravel wheelset is debatable, but i'm not blind to the bling factor of a high profile wheelset :).
