The BiekForumz answer would be NO, but that's because MTBs were only invented in 2010.
Seriously, though, the pretty standard setup for XC race bikes in the 1990s was 48-52mm (1.95"-2.1") on 17-19mm rims. (Bigger tires and narrower rims)
One of my vintage rigs is still set up that way, and I've got almost 100# on you. You're fine with 42s
