Hooked wheel question

Only been riding for 2 years but soon I'm getting my first "serious" road bike with carbon wheels which I've never used before so please don't laugh if the question is dumb but...

I've read countless arguments between people about why hookless wheels are safe or unsafe and so I've decided to go with the reserve 40/44s and I don't think at this point you can convince me to go hookless so my question is: are tubeless setups all together unsafe or is a hooked rim safe to ride tubeless? As I understood the issue isn't necessarily with the tubeless setup per say but it is with the wheel not being hooked. Therefore it is safe to ride tubeless with a hooked rim is this correct?
Thanks very much for input in advance.
