I've used Rimpact all of 2019 and Rimpact Pro all of 2020. The regular ones had a few cuts, or at least the one in the back wheel, nothing like a Huck Norris though so all good to continue to use. The Rimpact Pro in my back wheel didn't have any marks that would suggest that it needed changing, that was after about 500km, mostly enduro style riding.
I do think that all inserts I've tried except Cushcore pro needs to be wider for anything over 63mm casing tyres to still help against the tyre folding. For 2,4 and 2,5 tyres every insert that's 50mm or more helps. Some noodles are so light that they'll shrink a lot under the pressure we use in tyres so if you choose a light noodle, choose a big one, probably 60mm for a 2,4 tyre.
I used Pepis Revolution for 400km in the beginning of the season, no rim damage or puntures even if I rode hard with a Magic Mary snakeskin front and Bontrager XR5 in the back.
