What break pads are you using out of curiosity? My personal experience of using ceramic coated rims hasn't been terrible, but not amazing either (using Swiss Stop green ceramic pads). Same bike, with same canti brakes, but normal alloy rims and standard Shimano pads brakes better...
I've been wondering about shelf life of ceramic rims specific pads, as the pads I've been using I believe were new old stock, maybe they dried out?

They are indeed - I took the Kona to Bike Park Wales on a slippery autumn day and the braking was surprisingly good. I don’t know why all rim brake rims aren’t coated.
