For normal riding I find tubeless tyres with sealant and lower pressure a little safer than high pressure tubed clinchers. Most punctures will self-seal or leak down slowly enough that you can react before crashing. If you are really concerned you can also run inserts that allow the tyre to run flat safely. I believe Ineos were using them at Roubaix (according to Luke Rowe in his podcast discussing the issues some teams had there).

I have no worries about quality carbon rims either. They are super tough IME.
