It's worth revisiting this from 5 years ago. As someone who is still using rim brakes, I am sad to say it's probably true that rim-brake carbon fiber wheels are going to become an "orphan" technology soon. I doubt there will be much new investment, as most cyclists that are invested enough in the sport to buy new CF rims are almost always going to be running disc brakes.
I expect the existing technology to be around for many years, but don't think we will see any improvements on what we have.
