Do these have a traditional width brake track, or narrow ones like the SL23 v2 did?

I'd go custom build with good hubs. The hubs are the most important part of the wheel.

why would you use TL tape if going with tubes? could one use velo plugs or velox
Because you can use tubeless tape for everything and not bother with those other methods. Tubeless tape is also better for latex tubes.

Tubeless tape is needed on these rims if you want to be able to mount a tubed tyre easily. Use cloth tape and it will be a mare.
