You mean fixing a flat trialside?

If you are putting a tube in, it is just like mounting any tire with a tube, and if you are using a plug you don't need to unseat the tire.

The reason you need more airflow to seat a tubeless setup is that there is no tube to keep the air in before the bead seats. Once you stick a tube in there, it is no longer "tubeless".
