Generally yes, you can have two wheelsets and swap them out without having to adjust anything. Both wheelsets need to fit your frame (same hub width and axle size), have the same number of gears on the cassette, and have the same diameter brake disc.
In your case I think everything matches except the cassette. Google tells me your bike has an 8-speed drivetrain, but the standalone Paradigm SL wheels have a hub sized for an 11-speed road cassette. Fortunately, you should be able to put an 8-speed cassette on the new Paradigm wheel if you use a 1.85mm spacer. Then voila, swappable wheels.

To add to this, you probably won't know if you'd need to adjust the brake caliper and/or the derailleur till you try it. You can only reasonably sure of this if you're swapping the same model wheel set from a wheel manufacturer. E.g. Mavic Aksium Disc from 2015 with another one of the same.
