The thing is spokes have an optimal range, too so if the rim design takes them outside of that optimal zone then the build will suffer in terms of durability.
My go to value has been based on CX-Ray and at 120kgf DS tension. The hub will dictate the NDS tension. For the front I work to the same 110~120kgf as I assume both the rim and hub will be unaffected and all I can control are the spokes so I work to their optimal range.
Flawed logic?
