Got some road tubeless drama so I thought I'd share my failures:
If your valve core feels sticky CHANGE IT for a clean one. Otherwise it may just let the air out as soon as you remove the pump, at the worst time.
Really high pressure may expel your anchovies or latex at some point.
Shockingly, air can push latex under a patch of gorilla tape. Make sure you do a proper job when patching from the inside.
And last but not least, CO2 will make your latex solid and leave just some watery, useless stuff. If you ever have to do it make sure the valve is as far from the sealant as possible. Tough it might be useful to freeze it over a hard to seal hole.
