The boost doesn't fit your bike and I dont even know what 12x141 QR is as thats different from the common 12x140 TA and the 12x135 QR sizes.

At your weight, a properly built 28 spoke wheelset will be more than enough for road(paved and gravel) riding, so a properly built 32 spoke wheelset will be that much more indestructible(or overkill, depending on how you look at it).

Also, degree of engagement on a road bike isnt exactly a critical statistic. Its important for MTB, but not for road riding where you just pedal forever and don't need immediate engagement to get up and over obstacles with quick punches of immediate torque.

I wouldnt choose either of those wheelsets, but to each their own.
Thanks for the input. Maybe you were looking at the MTB version of the hub. The road version does have 12x142 TA (unfortunatelyI cannot paste links here). What wheelset would you get for a similar price range?
