I read about xc specific inserts and they seem less effective for a 40-50g weight saving. Since I’m already 90ish kg I think I’d take a weight penalty in exchange for full protection? Being able to have a softer rear tyre would probably have meant I’d have enjoyed and finished Cannock marathon last week!
