- Net weight of a wheelset with tubes vs tubeless typically(basically always?) ends with tubeless weighing less.
Besides those things, there is no benefit.
On several occasions, I have finished a ride and found sealant on the back of the seat tube. And yet, my rear tire’s psi was right where it belongs. If I’d been running tubes on those rides, I would’ve been changing flats on the side of the road.
