Are they not wax potted? Does that mean they're noisy pickups with overdrive?

More likely, they'll be noisy pickups with high volume. Unpotted pickups seem prone to feedback and other microphonic effects. If you can keep a feedback loop from forming, you should be fine with a little overdrive.

Have one in my tele's neck slot, have the gain on 5, with boost in (on my peavey ultra plus), and no problems here.

Not really. The covers are attached pretty tight on Seths and Ants so you get minimal microphonics compared to say....a cheap no name pup. I say that because those terrible squeals is what most people think of. When a Seth or Ant feeds back it's usually at a lower frequency and is useable for a solo or something.

Why would they be any noisier than any other humbucker? The technology is exactly the same as any other Duncan product. They may be more prone to feedback but this is something else entirely

I have both Seths and Ants, using a Mesa amp for Classic Rock and Blues, though my band is pretty moderate when it comes to volume. When I have gotten feedback, is musical and useable, not screeching.
Of course, you could order them potted from the Custom Shop.

^ had the cover off mine to swap in a a-5 mag, and it did have a small amount of wax on the pickup.

The pickups themselves are fine, although a little soft on the bottom end. Any microphonic issue with PAF type pickups can be solved by a quick dunk in wax.
I potted my nickel Brobucker, just because it squealed under volume and gain after installation.
