I think I’ve had one tub puncture in the last ten years racing cx. They are more robust than you might think. Take care of them, so keep them clean and dry them after wet and muddy races, and they are usually fine.
Be careful on using them on certain courses too, I rarely run tubs at Herne Hill for example, as the buried rubble out the back is notorious for killing them.

I now have tubs on my cross race bike, the wheelset is Matrix Tx50 Carbon with A.Dugast tubulars fitted.
They ride beautifully! But I'm terrified of puncturing.
