Yes it that magical. I used to get a flat 2 out of 3 rides in Southern Calif, 40/60 dirt to street riding, very frustrating. Since going tubeless 3 years ago I have had 3 flats, one flat because I let the sealant dry out. I carry 2 oz of sealant put that in pumped up the tire and off I went. Two flats were sidewall punctures/cuts, put a plug in the sidewall added sealant CO2ed the tire and rode on. I have had so many goatheads in the tires and the only thing that happens is sometimes the sealant will leak a bit around the puncture.
I probably would have quit riding if it wasn't for tubeless, just too many flats before.
