You could also consider dura-ace hubs with mavic open pro rims. Should be around the same price but a bit more solid.

Almost the entire field of any cx race will be running tyres wider than that on rims that size, or narrower. Only issue is if you are trying to run wide tyres at road pressures. I've done ~10 seasons on open pro. With their 16(?) mm internal width and tyres up to 38mm. No issues. Keep the pressures sensible, 40 psi or less, and you'll be just fine.
