Personal data point:
I have been using a single pair of carbon wheels with rim brakes since 2011. I often descend mountain roads that require aggressive braking.
I have never once experienced overheated rims or tire blow offs, and the braking surface of the rim shows very little wear.
Then again, I know how to brake correctly. It's not that difficult.
