i haven't had a problem with hookless, but i'm a 125lb, cat 3, xc racer...  so ymmv,  but i do only run 15.5psi F/ 16.5psi R and no liners...

Buddy of mine has some Elites he likes.    I grabbed some Serenade wheels 5 or 6 months ago and have been beating them up pretty good in the chunk without any issue whatsoever,  $615 to my door, 1125g, 30m iw. https://serenadebikes.net/Ultralight-Asymmetrical-Mountain-Bike-Wheels-30mm-Internal-Width-22mm-Depth-Rims-With-m270-Boost-Hub-p6805953.html   They were a little more than the Elite, but i wanted super light, and dealing direct with the company seemed nice.

There's a thread over in the mtb section about xc wheels too... https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6085.0.html
