Tyres blowing of the rim? I’ve only heard of that tubeless.
I’m running 23 & 25mm Masters (with tubes) on very wide rims. Will I die?

You will, but if your tyres have never displayed a tendency to unseat and let the tube burst out off the side they are highly unlikely to have anything to do with it. For me, twice in a 50km ride (and twice before in the last month or so) seems high enough a hit rate to start questioning it.
Weird thing is, rear tyre has been fine, so wondering if I have a dud at the front? I'd really love for them to seat and work as they're great tyres and used and loved by many - really comfortable and do feel nice and fast - but I'm sure I couldn't help but feel a little anxious using those with my wheels!

So having to step up my search for a replacement set of tires - earlier I'd asked about a fairly fast and robust 28mm set to replace my pretty new Veloflex Corsa for extra puncture protection, now I'm having to as the Veloflex clearly don't like my rims - twice I had a side blowout yesterday and had another one a week or so ago. Not taking any other chances and sadly I don't have any narrower rimmed wheels to play safer. Might stick those for sale later (with a full disclosure about the seating issues).
Very tempted by the Michelin Power Road as they review very well and don't break the bank but part of me dies a bit at the thought of abandoning tan wall in the name of being sensible (and other tires which would normally be available in tan not being available because covid).
