Not tied to the bladed spokes. I don't know anything about spokes or wheelbuilding so hence why I asking for recs. The super spoke seemed very light but if with 24 config it won't work let me know.

I don't know anymore.

Used to be 32 spoke wheels were argued to be the strongest. And there's only 8 spokes difference between 24 and 32, plus it was way easier to find 28 or 32 hole hubs/rims back in the day. Light used to be a 32 hole hub using 16 holes on the drive side laced 2-3 cross and 8 spokes on the non-drive side laced radially into a 24 hole rim.

My cheap Cosmic Elite wheels have 20 spokes in the rear.

Again, what people used to do isn't necessarily what they do now. Technology and all. I'd put together what you want and find a wheelbuilder to do it, honestly. I'd use your time to create or fabricate a cover. That's me. Custom wheels are kind of a thing of the past these days.

Which works because they are chunky spokes, likely more than 2x the weight of a superspoke and more than that in cross-sectional area. Laced to a heavy, stiff rim. So you don't need so many.

Wheel design is all about balancing characteristics of the components while taking into account the requirements of the user.
For a wheel that is going to be raced hard it is worth putting a few extra spokes in. Also not worth paying the extra money for bladed spokes as the wind won't see them.
