I have no experience of that wheel, but as a user of a big heavy hub, I have had a couple of pinch flats despite 2.35 tyres (one a sharp-edged kerb and another a brick hidden in the grass). But i've been able to patch the tube, so haven't had to remove the wheel (21mm nuts and two torque arms on this!).
Sounds like a fat tyre and big-patch repair kit should be considered for it, and the weight should be less of a concern then.
