Tubeless rims - Max psi

I'm just not getting it?
I have a variety of tubeless arrangements on bikes. I run my FS XC bike on a set of Crossmax ST at around 20/25psi. My cross bike is fitted with Crossrides and I comfortably inflate them tubelessly to around 65psi with non tubeless tyres (is that OK?) - I also have some heafty syncros rims that I sealed up with some electrical tape and they run fine at 50/60 psi when I take my hard tail on the road.
So.... I made some enquiries about various new wheelsets for the cx. The iron cross rims shouldn't be used above 40psi but if I went Stans Alpha 400 rims I can go up to higher pressures?
I want to use the bike on the road as well as XC - what am I missing??? What is the limiting factor to tubeless rims? Is it just some rims, the tyres or the tubeless system as a whole?

The clue is Stans rims are generally 100 grams lighter than the competitionleft the forum March 20230

Thanks for that, I sort of came to a self realisation somewhere since posting - That's the price for weight I guess.0
