I am beyond worrying about jinxes when it comes to tubeless road tires. 13 years and counting and I have only once had to even do a repair on the road. It helps to have wheels properly designed for road tubeless. In my case Campagnolo Shamal 2way fit. No taping required and they had tubeless valves factory installed. All I have ever had to do is install new tires by hand, no tools required and pump then up. I remove valve cores and inject sealant, then pump them up again. As long as they hold air I just keep riding them. There was one flat that happened in my living room. All of a sudden, my front tire deflated. Time for new tires which I already had on hand. When I checked, the rear tire was worn down to the tire carcass, No on the road flats with that set of tires even though I rode them that far without sealant
