Wider rims on the track?

So I'm building a fixed gear bike and it would be nice to know how well-suited to the velodrome it would be. Right now there are a lot of COVID-related restrictions for new riders at my local track, to the point that I couldn't finish my introductory sessions in the fall. Hopefully things open back up soon.

Anyway, in my mind track wheels have narrow rims+tires - is this based in reality? Any reason not to run H Plus Son Archetypes with 25mm tires? They have 17.5mm internal width, weigh 470g, are 23mm wide, and 25mm deep. I guess they do not have a deep, aerodynamic shape - any other considerations?
