In my experience and my ten pence.
I’ve the same rims in 29er. Stans say 2.25 to 2.8 so they will be fine.
My schwalbe nobby nics are 2.6 and they have a rounded profile compared to wider rims but I like this. I think they measure 2.52. They run more on the centre tread on roads (due to the rounder shape rather than square) and I feel they are more efficient but in mud the whole tread is used.
Having run 2.2s on mavic 717 I’ve no problem with running a 2.8 or 3 inch tyre on them.
What clearance does your frame have?
The magazines tell you that you need a 35mm or wider tyre but what type of rider are you? For my middle aged xc riding it suits me. Im not gnar enough to need wider rims.
I chose the mk3 rim as a balance between width and weight.
