I'd hazard a guess that tubeless would deal with high rim temperatures/pressure buildup better than a tube, but then the fact that you can also run much lower pressures than a tubed setup probably means it won't be an issue in the first place.
And as you're 65kg you don't really need to use brakes very much anyway. Just sit up and open your jersey like a parachute.

Thats first 80k, behind you.

I don't understand why anyone would run road tyres at such a low pressure that they would start to bottom them out.
The pressure stuff makes sense on MTBs and cross / gravs when a spot of skill deficit might result connection with a blunt object and a bottom out, but on road this ain't gonna happen unless huge potholes that will probably off you from the bike and break your wheel anyway.

but rim brake tubeless descending on alloy rims is fine? 65kg atm.
