It's not a matter of whether you are good with tools, it's whether you can deal with the hassle, especially during crunch time in a race when you need to swap wheels quickly.
10/11 is a consideration with older wheels. Profile is another. My first set of carbon wheels were deep-v. Super fast but absolute hell in crosswinds at 50mm depth. All of my current wheels have a Firecrest shape, and are much easier to handle in a crosswind, and some are deeper. I am also small and pretty aero, and get blown around a lot. The new wheels still catch the crosswinds but it's a more gradual movement that gives you more time to react.
