I have only seen shattered c35's due braking too hard. Alloy wheels are hard to break so should really be a problem.
You could also consider dura-ace hubs with mavic open pro rims. Should be around the same price but a bit more solid.

There are 2 versions of the c24.
The tu version (full carbon and for tubes) is good for cross. The clincher also but the backing surface won't last long.

No it's not.
That's just what shimano tell you.
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.
