Read, brake track anodizing gone.
Maybe the OP will be fine but maybe not. I worked in a top 100 independent bike dealer in the 80s. It was a really good shop with some excellent wheel builders. The shop was in New Orleans which is where I grew up. The city is a natural testing ground for headsets, wheels, and tires. It’s built on mud and the roads sink on a regular basis. Consequently they are cracked and full of potholes. Plus many of the locals think they have a right to toss their empties out on the street. Like I said, the city was and is a fine testing ground for wheels, tires, and headsets. I would not have recommended those rims to the OP for a ride like the CINO BITD. Ive done my share of gravel riding on GP 4 s back before anyone knew that was a thing. They will hold up.
