Can the Specialized stout 27.5 be used tubeless? The website is mum about that, which I fear kinda answers the question, but I hope I am wrong. Thank you.

If this is what the rim bed profile looks like, no - it's not intended for tubeless (though some people run "ghetto tubeless" with tires and/or rims not intended for tubeless use). Tubeless rim beds have a depression in the middle, all away around the rim, and flat shoulders on either side above that where the tire beads pop up and lock in to place when seated.
