To each their own certainly. In my case the inserts I run basically cancel the types of rim damage I do to aluminum hoops that i don’t do to carbon (dents & flat-spots) and weigh enough that equivalent usage carbon v. aluminum rims I can’t justify the cost of the carbon to shave a few grams and see no other advantage for a solid investment for good rims.
