Maybe CX-Sprints would have just that little bit extra stretch resistance to keep the rim from rubbing the brakes, or maybe four more spokes would do it. I think that article was written specifically to contextualize wheel stiffness in situations exactly like yours.
If you had read my post carefully, you would have seen that I said exactly the same thing.

I discuss 2 types of wheel flex. I’m not going to reiterate my post.
