Gravel rims- Light Bicycle maybe?

I'm thinking getting a new carbon gravel wheelset and was thinking of those Light Bicycle rims with either Dt 240 or 350 hubs. Are the rims high quality, as in durable, stiff laterally, and compliant? Anyone use them? Maybe these:

I'd prefer a slightly shallower rim for some compliance but then I'll have to go narrower in internal width too. I'll mainly run tires in the 35-40 range only. These will be 80% gravel and 20% road. I have dedicated road bikes so mostly gravel with road mainly to connect gravel/dirt stretches. Thanks for any input!
