No problems with the 36 spoke wheels. Though I was stupid a couple weeks ago and let my backpack slip down my arm into my front spokes and I went over the front, and now my front wheel is slightly off true, but not enough to notice. I also ride the blue stripe 700x23 CST CZARS and haven't had any problems. I was worried about weight support because I put on Shimano clipless pedals this week but no budging or buckling there either. The only thing I've noticed is there is some squeaking coming from the bottom bracket recently.
