Is there a risk that, by fitting tyres with such small circumferences at the bead, one's spokes might start loosening themselves off?
Or would the tyre have to be really tight?

There was some chat in the wheelbuilding thread about the effect of tubeless on wheel tensions.
IIRC the upshot was that tensions do drop but not enough to be concerned about, but some builders do compensate.
I did Duckle the subject and was surprised to learn that it also happens with a tube, although to a lesser extent.
I don't remember the difference in fit being discussed: my guess is that it would, but not by enough to cause a problem.

When I first fitted the Corsa Speed I had a nightmare getting the bead to seat, even at high PSI (with a tube). This caused the wheel to go alarmingly out of true, resolved with a bit of washing up liquid though.

I've never had tyre fitting issues, but Corsa Speeds have seen me kill tubes, levers and nearly myself on my Jet+. I think Vittoria have gone for the tighter end of bead diameters.
