I've never had a flat with a tubeless tire, so it's good to be aware of the possible issues when that happens.

TLDR - sidewall cuts are hard to plug because there's nothing backing it when you try to push the plug in (he ended up punching through both sidewalls); make sure your emergency tube has a long enough valve.

With some tire companies not taking tubeless low psi into account, or giving recommendations, doesn't running below 30 psi in a tire that may recommend 44 psi as a low...doesn't the low pressures increase the risk of sidewall damage?

I used to carry the Dynaplug tool and had mixed experiences with it. I had some occasions when it worked fine and other occasions when the plug pulled out of the tire. If the plug was in the tread and I was on clean pavement, the plug would stick to the pavement and get pulled out of the tire. The plugs are also a bit pricey and the metal ends sometimes fall off inside the tire and bounce around in there.

I switched over to carrying the Genuine Innovations tool, which also has a valve core tool in the base so you can add more sealant if you carry some with you. I wrap the tool with some Gorilla Tape, which has a dual function of quieting the tool in the frame bag and providing a boot for the inside of the tire in the event that I get a large cut and have to put in a tube.
