I don't commute because I work at home, but I do use the RH extra light 559 X 28 Elk Pass on both my "gofast" and my "errand" Rivs; both see occasional firm dirt, the last carries regular loads, some close to 40 lb in the rear. Fewer problems than with 559 X 32 Paselas.
Back in the day I commuted across town and did my grocery shopping on 200 gram 559 X 22 mm Specialized Turbos (nice tires, if only they had been half again as wide) and these did fine. My ultra thin (450 grams) 700C X 60.5 mm Big Ones see regular dirt and gravel -- they are on my "gravel bike."
