So for me it's tubeless in everything until a better solution comes along.
I would call loss of a tire a flat if the incident caused it to go flat, even if it did destroy the tire I have had tubed tires go with a screw.....(bump bump bump of the screw on the pavement) and just took the screew out, put a new tube in and kept going.
