Ah, I interpreted that as persistent jet washing will kill any bearings. They do claim to use labyrinth seals, but perhaps they're of a lower quality than the CX75s.

CX75 and RS505 both use Contact hub seals.

SLX FH-M7000 weighs about the same as RS505, but has Labyrinth & Contact seals. The flanges are further apart and you'd have to use an MTB cassette if you want 11speed.

They look a good bet actually, assumed they'd be heavier given their mountain bike status.

Is it worth using Revolution spokes for the 50 gram saving over Competition? And I've never built with alu nipples, is it too much of a pain for 20 grams per wheel?
