I personally don't ride tubeless on my road bikes because my frames limit me to 25mm tires (so I'm riding relatively high psi by today's standards), and I tend to switch out tires between bikes on occasion just for fun, but I know that tubeless has come a long way since the 90s in MTB applications, and probably makes a lot of sense for those riding 28mm tires or wider. I'm still skeptical about 25mm tubeless setups due to the higher psi I would need at my weight, but perhaps that's unfounded.
I've been running tubeless 25mm tires on my #1 road bike since I got it 3 years ago. I weigh 180-185 and run 75F/80R in Conti GP5000TLs. For me, it works really well. However, if I was swapping tires frequently, I might stick with tubes.
