I have a set of LB 35s. With Novatec SL hubs I built them into a 1380g set, even using thicker spokes rear drive side. I really like them, braking is very good with Reynolds blue or Wiggle carbon blue pads.
Regarding the usefulness of shallow carbon clinchers, I also have a 25mm tall 1290g LB set that I really like. If you can show me a U-shaped 26mm wide tubeless ready black aluminum rim under 400g that's as stiff as these rims and rated to 1800N spoke tension by the manufacturer, I'd take it - only it doesn't exist.
The alu options are 100g/set heavier, not much cheaper, will have silver sidewalls after 300km, will be narrower and the ligher ones will have you worrying about cracking at the nipples.
