Think of a carbon wrapped scuba tank. They hold in up to 5000 psi of air without showing perceptible outward flex.
Worse, the epoxy shrinks slightly as it cures, making the final size of the tube ever so slightly smaller than the staring ID/OD.
Carbon-wrapped tanks are very thickwalled though. Their sectional aspect ratio is much larger than a bike tube wrap. I'm going to go with the shrinking rather than the perceieved stiffness being the controlling issue here. More lube! :-)
