It is a great setup but I often long for a little less harshness.
On my Aethos went to from a 19mm internal w/ TPU tubes w/ GP5000 28c to a 21mm internal and GP5000 S TR 30c ran tubeless clincher and especially at the recommended max 72 PSI there is that "squish". Now I do cheat a bit and pump them up to 80 PSI and the response of the bike is a lot better especially out of the saddle when sprinting or climbing. Point being I think it all comes down to tire pressure. If you were running hookless you are simply maxed at 72 PSI so IMO this is why I can never get behind hookless unless you are using your bike more for all-road, gravel, or especially MTB.
