TPU tubes are a great option, a “next best thing” if not *the* best thing. I run Schwalbe Aerothan on my gravel bike rather than tubeless both because I have one pair of tires which are seemingly impossible to seal up, and because I only have one wheelset but run both summer and winter specific tires, so tubes makes switching tires faster and easier than messing around with tubeless.
