To hijack question ever so slightly (sorry) and amend it for a TRC style event which is vast majority of road but a few cheeky gravel sections whats peoples latest views on tyres, widths, and tubeless vs tubed?
If it's mostly on road that is what you optimise for. I did TCR on 25mm five years ago. It was a bit sketchy on the gravel but rideable with care. I'd use 28s now, not because they are massively better than 25s, but you can get 28s now that are better than 28s then.
If you like tubeless, go with that; if not don't - it's not a big deal. Some people compare it to Brexit but I think they are prone to getting things out of proportion!

It seems there are loads of new tyres being launched all the time; with most of them coming in options as wide as 30 and 32mm. I remember when 25 was wide and 28 was a balloon; now it seems 28 is bare minimum ?!
