Just had to many punctures that would not seal with stans. Effoetto mariposa has been much better.
Hookless rims for MTB great, for road not sure. It would require alot of testing with all tubeless tyres before I offer it. I worry about tyre blow off at higher pressures. You have to account for the end user not reading any warnings. I am not sure what the advantage would be for road either as burping is not a problem unless the rim beak hook is hopeless.
Hippy there is a guide on my website (news section) which goes through how to live with tubeless tyres and avoid faff. read it. there is a badly shot short video of how you fix a puncture. sidewall cuts can be dealt with too. My own experience of schwalbe tubeless tyres has not been great they puncture too easily. they are comfy though and have low Crr so they are not hopeless.

"I have tyre worms, flexible superglue, a pump, CO2, valve core remover and a 2oz bottle of sealant." and presumably the worm applicator.
With tubes I can get away with a spare tube and a pump. On TCR I also had a patch kit and tyre levers but then to fix tubeless cuts you likely also need a patch kit, right? How long will a worm+superglue fix last? Doesn't the glue get knocked out while riding and reopen the cut?

I've got 'normal' Stans in my tyres, and sealing hasn't been as great as I had hoped. For example, in my opinion (albeit subjective), the puncture in my front tyre should have sealed rather than required a worm. However, I have since bought some of the 'race' variety of Stans having heard that it is better for road tyres (although tried it out yet).
It sounds like you use a syringe to add the sealant? I'm guessing it's the Caffelatex one? If so, do you know if it would be compatible with Stan's race sealant? The reason I ask is that I ordered a Stan's syringe only to find that it wasn't compatible with their race sealant so I had to return it. So I'm looking for a different one.

interesting, stans has worked for me so far on road tubeless
why is orange seal so much better?
