During "riding season" here in Wisconsin, the bike will only sit for a few days between rides, hence swishing the sealant around every few days. In Winter, it'll be on the trainer for months and months without moving, hence the risk of a big 'ol puddle of sealant drying in a single spot if it's not removed. I very well could just spin the front wheel before or after each indoor training session, but that sounds like work (and I'd likely forget.)
If you replace your front wheel and remove the wheel with the tubeless tire and sealant, isn't it going to sit anyway? What's the difference if it sits on your bike or sits leaning up against the wall? If you are going to remove the sealant and let the wheel sit, why don't you just remove the sealant and keep it on your bike? I'm not sure what is being gained.
