All I am saying, for the 200th time, is that tubeless is still not a complete or best solution for all riders in all circumstances.
Yuppers.

IME.....Big(ger) tires and lower pressures (CX/gravel and bigger/lower) it works pretty well and reliably on smaller punctures, and if needed with a bacon-strip insert or similar. Narrow roadie rubber and high(er) pressures, OTOH....complete crapshoot of severity and luck. I've never had it hold air enough to not warrant a tube almost immediately and be a goopy mess. My LBS actually dubbed roadie tubeless "the crappy form of tubeless".
