plenty of folks use UST rims with whatever rubber they can find. It's the rim that makes things super easy; pair it with a UST tyre and it's a no-brainer. But I guess you already know that, right?

Main advantage I can see is not having to faff about with rim tape to get them airtight. The aluminium spokes freak me out though D:

Mind you, I do have a 1.8kg rear hub...

Well, yeah, but so what? Run em till they brake, chuck 'em away. Novatec hubs will die well before those Mavics crack, assuming R-Mash isn't a 130kg masher
