back to tubes?

New fatty owner bought a used Salsa Mukluk that the previous owner had setup tubeless, [holy Daryls w/ Surly Nates 3.8] - LBS recommended tubes instead of keeping up on sealant, and also is of the opinion that weight savings is not that great............then my front tire goes flat. So, rather than go through the gyrations of the tubeless rigamoroe I am inclined to live with tubes, [I'm old, leisurely rider] and a little bit more weight ain't going to make or break me.

Question is am I going to run into issues going back to tubes? Gunk inside the tire, on the rim, etc.?? If so, what's the protocol to go back to tubed setup?

And, best tube recommendations would be appreciated. looking at these: https://www.modernbike.com/surly-fat...ube-26-x-3-4.8

thanks in advance!
