Niche performance stuff mostly though innit, hopefully it'll work well enough for enough good rides and be repairable without needing to do that job in full again, with plugs if the sealant doesn't do enough and with a fallback tube if desperate.
I can also whack a new tube in for someone in 10 minutes and generally charge them about £9 labour, I'd imagine a tubeless set up that was reasonably normal to take 2 to 3 times that so seems OK, especially with everything mentioned. There's plenty of people who can't change a tube at all and they should be able to ride. Cars generally come with a spare wheel or at least one of those repair kits now but there's a whole industry based on sorting out when people can't fix them themselves either.
