The real test is the hundreds and thousands of carbon rims that are being put
on MTBs and ridden on trails. If there are major problems they be reported
online just like any other MTB failure and if not in a year or two folks will
be forced to acknowledge they are holding up fine.
Personally I don't care what happens. I'm trying some carbon rims out and if
they last a long time awesome. If they don't I'll go back to AL.
Before buying my carbon rims I checked with a number of early adopters of
carbon that I know and I got lots of positive feedback and heard very few
problems from real world riders.
