I suspect you will need tubeless tape along with other material and equipment to go tubeless. Tubeless has never really caught on in loaded touring. Many bikes sold in past five years have "tubeless ready" rims/wheels but hardly any tourists bother to go that route. For the touring niche, tubeless seems to be more a marketing point than a actual useful feature. Tubeless is more popular for mountain biking where there are apparently more performance benefits.

Google tubeless site:bikeforums.net/touring/ (copy and paste) to find old "tubeless" threads.
