It's up to your comfort level, but I do believe there is a consensus that for long descents, avoid carbon fiber rim brake wheels due to possible overheating. I expect that goes for tubed or tubeless.

We went to Whiteface a few years ago, which is 8 miles at 8%, and I purposefully did NOT take my CF wheels over an abundance of caution.
