Only with mtb tyres as it happens and I've ridden them for the life of the tyre. Dynaplugs (and even bog standard bacon strips for that matter) don't rely on sealant to work. I've got to the point where I don't even bother topping up sealant in my mtb tyres. In fact with some mtb tubeless tyres I never even used sealant and bacon strips still worked fine on punctures. On my road bike I get through tyres a lot quicker, so the sealant is usually still effective when I change them. Sealant is great for preventing pin-prick punctures and maintaining pressure with the more porous casings, but doesn't really do anything when it comes to plugging a larger hole. My experience of using tubeless plug repairs is that they remain air-tight regardless of the presence of sealant.
