i feel like 90% of people's problems with tubeless is not picking stuff that is known to work well.
schwalbe tubeless is pretty faultless. have used enve, hed, easton, and lightbicycle rims with no problems (with schwalbe. had trouble seating rene herse tires).
in like the last 2000 hours of riding i have had 1 flat that didn't seal, and that was an old furious fred with not enough sealant and a big hole. i've had a number of other punctures all of which sealed with enough air that i could get home without much trouble.
i agree that road tubeless is not a super clear win, but i ride rough roads, light dirt, etc on my road bike and i think tubeless is a clear benefit then. i can go to 50psi on 30mm tires without worrying about rim impacts, and get lots of grip and have never had a pinch.
