I road-raced for over 30 years, but these days I don't have any bikes with tyres narrower than a nominal 32mm, and most of them are rather larger than that. I sometimes take my Appaloosa with 55m tyres (RH front, Marathon Almotion rear) out on bunch training rides where virtually everyone else is on C-F road bikes. I lose something on the hills, because the bike weighs 15Kg rather than the 8Kg under most other riders, but other than that, the handicap is very little. I do most of my riding on a Ti frame / steel fork machine with Hutchinson Confrérie des 650B tyres, which are a nominal 32mm but actually measure ~33mm.
