You're not crazy about that - I actually dug out a 25mm rim just to make my 29x2.3 SS tires usable, and turns out that's what it needed in order to be a useful tire. Doesn't handle side load quite as well, and there's a touch less usable volume as a result... that bike is now the wife bike, and she loves that partiular setup.
The e.13 on 32mm has been pretty awesome for me as well, I do want to try pairing it with their new tire out front, but the DHR2 pairing has been so excellent for me, I don't know why I'd want anything different - it complements the inherent deficiencies so well (braking is great on that out front), and shares the same awkward lateral limits that it turns into a giant fun sled in the right loose-over-hard conditions where I can chuck it into two wheel drifts with just weight transfer (no brakes).
