It is within the realm of reason.
I was thinking the opposite. If your carbon clinchers can be designed with no regard for braking surface (cause of disc brakes), I'd imagine the rims could be considerably lighter, reducing rotational weight far from the hub, which theoretically gives the biggest advantage in a climb.
