I thought the general view was that they weren't great.
Can't remember where I read it but ISTR they are not patchable. So you need to carry more, as punctures tend to cluster, and there is always the risk of fucking up a repair and needing a second go.
But then, I've got tubeless so I suppose I shouldn't be speaking about this as I haven't fixed a puncture by the side of the road since March 2017 - the last time I used tubes!
