Nowadays tubeless is great. Yes its more fussy and specific than tubes, but if you have tubeless rims and tubeless tires, following pressure and mounting guidelines they are fine. If you slice your tire and develop an unfixable leak, simply pop a tube in to get you home (thats what should have happened with the 23c rider in story above
Road Fan )
Fussy is the key, generally tubeless is more fussy / specific increased maintenance for the advantage of less punctures or more grip.
Gravel : 37 C tire I am at 38ps on a 75kg rider,
Road : 25c I am at 90psi on a 75kg rider
But always go by manufacturers recommendation, that is key.
