The only improvement regarding impact resistance that I have read about pertains to the hookless wheel sidewalls themselves; no other part of the wheel or the tires were mentioned. I do not have any experience riding hookless because I am too heavy (90 kg) to ride 25 mm or even 28 mm tubeless tires at ideal pressures (per Silca's calculator).
