No tubeless for me - I do not flat that much. Kind of like disc brakes - I do not ride in muddy or wet conditions, and know how to use my rim brakes if I do get caught. So I don't see much need for either.
It's pretty obvious that there is no "need" for tubeless or disc brakes. But that says absolutely nothing about any potential benefits of them. Personally I've found both of these developments to be an overall improvement, even if there are some minor downsides too.
