I think carbon wheels have come a long way! I recently bought a set of BTLOS carbon rim brake wheels and love them! They hold up to my 200lb weight, are aero (45mm deep rims), and super light (the wheelset came with a listed weight of 1305g - 729g rear and 576g front)! That's tubular wheel weight! The weight was a surprise as the estimate they gave when I finished selecting the parts was 1325 +/- 25g, so I was expecting 1350g!
Still the wheels have been fantastic and with Reynolds blue carbon pads, I find the braking to be excellent, although I haven't ridden them in the wet. There's little to no flex and they seem to hold up to everything I put them through as I do occasional rides on gravely roads. I'm now thinking maybe I should get a set for my Della Santa, which has standard 32h Mavic Open Pro rims and Campy Record hubs...lol Of course, YMMV! Good Luck!
