Yes they are. I use tubs all year round. If you think they are not practical then you are doing something wrong.
Sew up tubs what on earth do you think you have to do to repair a puncture? Carry a spare tub and some sealant that way you can deal with a small puncture and a big one. when I go out on tubs I have a can of pit stop in my back pocket and a spare tub strapped under the saddle. I rarely puncture on tubs but when I do 5 minutes later I am back on the road. Seriously what is the hassle.
The hassle is what happens when you get home with a tub which is too broken to run on sealant alone. You're looking at either getting the sewing needle out or getting the credit card out.
