Not these days unless you want tour in the middle of nowhere, then steel (can be fixed) and 26" rims it is (or a very very good factory parts and replace service)
Carbon is now repairable, it should last, the only thing can be being paranoid about damage as you need scans to verify it. But if you don't leave it sitting around in places where it can be bashed badly (Dutch filled to the brim bikeracks and carbon deffo wouldn't mix) I doubt that's a big issue...
