By virtue of being a fat kid, that an be a negative margin, when I'm in the mood for rock smashing.
Rolling in at 32psi in the rear, and still bottoming just isn't all that fun, the tires really struggle at higher pressure (just to hold it through a ride, not even talking about how laughably bad the grip can be), so that's why the insert dance is something I'm probably going to have to do.
Given limited availability of serious casings in 29er SemiSlicks, I feel like that's going to be the long term answer, despite the downsides. I've been getting by with the e13 TRS-R SS in the Enduro casing, but it has been a case of 'barely' - 28psi is the highest I can go with grip feeling good, but I know that's in the red zone of being able to attack rocky sections at a gross vehicle weight north of 125kg.
