All the open pros that I have built lately have had terrible joins and haven't been particularly round.
I think Mavics quality has decreased in the last few years. Pinned joins are never good, welded is the way to go for sure.
I was unaware that you were trying to go for a mavic theme through the bike.

Proof of standing up to decades of abuse, the go-to strong training rims for probably millions of people, using the 'fashionable' eyelets and SUP rim joints years before H+Sons were even a company, a low profile section without being too boxy, not to mention that I've already got a French track frame, a Mavic 305 headset, Mavic 632 cranks and Mavic garms. Perfectly good fascination imo :)
