New wheels for carbon frame Checkpoint?

Purchased an SL6 gen3 a few months ago and it comes with Bontrager Paradigm Comp 25 TLR disc wheelset. Wanted new wheels that meet a few criteria:
  • The current wheels use a freehub that makes a ratcheting noise when coasting. I prefer a silent hub when coasting so I have been looking at Onyx, either MTB or Vesper
  • The current wheels are not carbon, I want to make the jump to carbon wheels. I do not race so I am thinking about a shallow or mid section wheel
  • I will be doing some credit card touring staying in hotels so I will be carrying some gear. I need wheels that can take a bit of gear weight in panniers or frame bags. I am 6'2" and weigh 195 pounds
  • Not sure what tires to use with a new set of wheels but I will be running tubeless. Most of my riding is on the road with only about 20% on gravel. If there are tires you would recommend, let me know
