But you don’t need a summer and winter road wheelset for reasons of speed/durability, that’s a hangover from rim brakes.

Yeah I agree with you there in terms of road only rims. @ILb mentioned gravel though and having an alloy set with more robust tyres would be more preferable off-road and allow faster tyres and carbon rims to be saved for the road stuff.

Makes more sense with disc brake wheels IME as you're not also having to play around with alloy/carbon brake pads and rims of differing widths.
My cross bike(s) get wheels swapped all the time depending what tyres etc I want. I have carbon CX tubs, chunky alloy gravel tubeless or road slick wheels all set-up ready to go. All with Hope hubs and rotors so no adjustment each time.
