My opinion as a 195# (in shape) rider. 3600 miles on my disc brake road bike, 1500+ miles on my disc brake CX bike.
I flat love them. Have zero issues with rub/squeal or noises. The CX bike is ridden offroad/gravel & sees more dirt/grime. The brakes are holding up fine. The road bike brakes were just checked and are at 1/3 of their service life.
I will never be a 160# rider. I need the extra stopping power, and use it... I'm not worried about an extra pound or so on the bike, makes little difference to my overall system weight.
And the rims are more durable for heavy riders. After flat exploding a set of Dura Ace rims and constantly dealing with bent rims/broken spokes on my rim brake bikes - I've had zero issues with the disc brake wheelsets.
That being said - I have a bunch of older Dura Ace stuff from my cracked CF rim brake frame that I will be using to build a lightweight rim brake bike for the local flat/fast bike path.
