This bike is used on pavement and gravel and the ability to run low air pressure without the risk of pinch flats is key.

The benefit of tubeless is less pronounced with road tires. Changing a tubeless tire or repairing a flat is a much more involved and messy process than regular tires with tubes. I don't use tubeless on tires 700x28 or smaller.
so the 700 x 25’s I like to run on this bike sounds like a no-go on these rims. 700 x 30 tubeless does sound like a nice option on a Trek Multitrack that I built wheels for using HED Belgium + rims.
