I'm looking at the Ultimate CF and I don't see any exposed wires. The SRAM eTap groupset is WiFi.
Personally, I'd say you're being a little too concerned with what might happen in the future. I know where you're coming from because I used to do that myself. Get a bike that you'll enjoy riding for the next 10 or so years and it should do you well. That Canyon looks like a lovely bike.
