I used to race (actually race, as in pay money and have a license to partake in actual road racing) on 32 spoke Velocity Aero-something rims on Ultegra hubs. Not once in my entire(ly shit) career did I blame my wheels for losing me a race. I was able to crash quite handily and continuing racing on them whereas other riders would be tangled in carbon spaghetti wondering how they were going to afford next week's race entry.
