You make it sound more difficult than it is
My experience with tubeless is with 38 mm and larger gravel tires and I could be wrong about the ease with which road tires assemble onto road wheels compared to gravel setups.
As an example, Panaracer Gravel King SK and Schwalbe G-One Allaround are sometimes very difficult to get fully seated and require soapy water or Schwalbe EZ-fit fluid to lube the beads. Even so, getting them to snap onto the bead isn't always a given.
Are road tires not as difficult to seat?
I also use a compressor and am pretty sure a flash charger type pump would be much more convenient. At a minimum, it would allow me to seat the tires in my kitchen.
Do you use a flash pump? If so, can you suggest a model?
