The difference is huge. On the flats or short down hill ok rim brakes just as good.
I have a gravel bike with several wheel sets of tires of different sizes. It's so easy to just swap wheel set with it. I doubt a rim brake can accommodate 25mm road tire to 50+ gravel tire. If it can it would be a pain to adjust each time.
