I'm not sure how much the weight of the epoxy will affect things realistically, but it certainly must weigh more than a thin layer of CA.
Yes, it does leave the white residue if you add too much glue. I literally apply only the minimum to coat the rim/tire where it needs to hold. Use the smallest tip that comes with the CA glue and use as little as possible.

Youd be surprised at how much cured epoxy weighs. Let alone that once it is cured its not coming off without being cut off.
Shoe-goo was another option that people were using since it had some give to it when cured. Easily broken if needed and cutting it off the bead area of the wheels were easier than dried CA glue or epoxy.
