Assume you need a brake track?
I have MTs on Novatecs with Specialized Tracers (Challenge made). Very, very light.
But not as light as my tubeless wheelset. And can't be used for training.
If you are a weekend warrior I would consider investigating the new A23s tubeless with Mich Mud iis. Cheaper, similar weight, can be used for training and racing.
If you don't need a brake track then Iron Cross rims are the obvious answer.
How much do you weigh? I suspect success with tubeless is largely influenced by rider weight and skill.
The other option would be to look out for a used pair of tubular wheels. I was lucky enough to pick up a NOS pair of Mavics on Ultegra for £70. If you are thinking about wheels for deep mud getting weight weenie about it might not stack up as you'll be carrying a load of mud anyway. But in those situations deep rims would be better but might be harder to find used.
