Right, but I suppose if you were forced to replace your 38mm CX/gravel tyres with a 28mm road tyre you wouldn't really have any knobbly bits to worry about anyway.
One minor point about the Pacenti rims that I can see is that they're 28h. 32h would be more practical. But for a tenner maybe it's worth it

its just that the tyre sidewalls can wear out quicker or cornering (because side knobs are not on the sides but more center) seems weird if you pull out skinny tyre wide rim combo, as the tyre contact patch isnt what the designer thought it to be.
I had (and others have done the same) 33mm cx tyres on 26,6mm inner rim -combo without much of a fuss. New road wheels seem to be around 25-28mm outer for 25mm tyre also.
