The bike will be fine. Just don't go up in the hills when its very windy with deep section wheels.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Could equally well be an alloy framed bike of course - some of the Rose and Canyon alloy framed bikes are advertised to be around 7 Kg, for example, and CAAD 10s are pretty light too. I have been almost blown off the road riding a steel frame too.

Wind doesn't discriminate against what your frame is made out of! And anyway, wouldn't you be attached to the frame by at least 5 contact points making frame weight pretty irrelevant vs your weight?

And melts in the rain
Not as fast as my resolve did in last night's rainy crit. Just could not get enough confidence in my grip on corners.
I swear there's something wrong with my wheels.

That'll be seatpost clamp or brake caliper bolts. They're automatically responsible for the thing, that does the other thing leading to 33.6788% less grip.Not as fast as my resolve did in last night's rainy crit. Just could not get enough confidence in my grip on corners.
