So the worry is not that a rim could be so poorly manufactured that it would simply fold in half, but that if I crash that I'm out x amount of dollars... At the price it seems that a new wheel is close to repair costs for other brands.

Yes, if something does happen, I'm outta luck.
So you just bought the carbon hoops and purchased spokes and hubs from reputable manufacturers? This seems like a proper way to go.
