Oof. I have a hunch that a lot of the early road tubeless angst was from overly tight fits (this was a combination of both rim and tire manufacturers trying to play it safe) and Stan's sealant (which is the go-to for lower pressure MTB) not working particularly well for the application. I think that a lot of tubeless-curious sat out until such time as Conti jumped in... and they laid a egg with the GP5kTL, which are also CYA super tight, souring those people on road tubeless, too.
