Campy Scirrocos (also made by Fulkrum) or the aluminum Fulkrum line are fine.
You can pick these up cheap from ProBikeKit for cheap and they also have these 40 mm deep Chinese aluminum wheels (

It would be nice if they sold strictly clincher wheels since tubeless wheels are very difficult to mount tires on when you get a flat out in the middle of nowhere in the rain (been there, done that, sealant is nasty on your hands which then ends up on the bar tape) Tubeless tires CAN also get flats though that is less often. So you still have to carry a saddle pack with tubes, CO2 and levers. So what it the point of tubeless?
I'm digging your initial suggestion and disdain for tubeless, but I can't get onboard with the wheels you linked to. You really expect those hubs to last? And what's with these low-quality Asian producers throwing an Italian sounding name on products? Do people really fall for that?
