Good strong carbon wheelset options for a Fargo?

I want boost spacing wheels since that's what my fork is, so no gravel wheels unfortunately. Need something strong, since I weigh close to 300. Ideally I'd get something with around 25mm of internal width, but I can go wider if needed. More spokes, the better.

Should I be looking at XC rims, or do I need trail/enduro rims? The only reason why I'm asking is because most enduro/trail rims are 30mm internal width, which doesn't allow for running 45-50mm tires as easily. Maybe I shouldn't be worried about that, but if I'm dropping close to $1k on a wheelset, it'd be nice to have something versatile. What's my best option?
