If only 1-2 screws are using a Phillips head I'd rather replace them than carry an additional tool. Also, the 'new' R7000 105 is using 2mm hex for Hi & Low adjustments, which is nice.

You'd still need tubeless ready rims, taped and running with sealant. Adding a tube inside instead of just switching to TLR tire sounds like a lot of work (and mess) for dubious benefits. Not even...
