Consider looking into a hand built wheelset from PWB.
You could save about $500-900 of your budget and get a lightweight, yet very durable wheelset that checks off what you’re looking for.
Had I not transitioned to disc brake frames, the wheelset PWB built for me rode as good as the Shamal Ultras I had in the stable. At literally half the cost.

Kinlin XR-31 rims (19mm ID, 24mm OD, 31mm height), Sapim Cx-ray spokes, Bitex hubs (splurge for White Industries if you like).
