When you do change out the wheels it might still be worth it to convert them to tubeless. Here's mine just prior to a quick ride today posed playfully in the snow we made last night.
I bought a set of the Bontrager Race Lite's tubeless for a Fondo I was in that had a ton of uphill gravel riding and I gotta say the ride quality coupled with the wider brake track has been fantastic. I also added a remote shifter on the bar tops for that same ride which has been great fun to shift from the tops.
