Oh absolutely! I'm not guna ride CX tyres for anyone. I just occasionally go out for rides with a bunch of CX lads and they drop me immediately in the mud they purposely look for. Sadists.
Run what ya brung. For me its going to be something that goes well enough on road that I can chalk up 50 mile or so on road to get to some awesome gravel roads/single track further afield and get home again without massive drag.
I know now that's what I want, personally. Also, I see little to no disadvantage to tubeless over tubes, a great advancement in bicycle tyre tech

33mm CX tyres still roll better than 45mm tyres because 33<45. Unless you stop and pump up/deflate tyres when you transition from road to mud.
Now, the wellbeing of your hands and back on 100k+ rides is a whole different matter.

I just ride whatever I've got on. It's not like I'm going to fuck around with tubeless tyres based on terrain (another disadvantage of tubeless? or an advantage, in that, it's such a PITA to swap tyres you don't bother?)
