Is a carbon wheelset an overkill for me? (lemmit.online)

I have a Canyon Endurace CF 8 with a default wheelset. I'm riding around 5000 km per year and the half of it with this road bike. I'm thinking about to get a carbon wheelset (Zipp 303 S) instead of the Fulcrum Racing 900 one.

I could save 500g in total and double the rim depth from 22m to 45mm.

Does it make sense to make this move with only 2-3000 km/year without ambition of doing racing?
