Did this today with the wheel's on:

My biggest concern has always been what the braking would be like, but apart from a lot of pad transferring to the braking surface turning them yellow, and the noise, braking is fine.
The ride is extremely nice, and performance (considering the 50mm depth) was still good in a crosswind on the Hogs Back- although a firm grip on the bars was required.
I took a pre-stretched tub and some tape+pump with me, but did not have cause to need them.
Other than one tub taking up more room than two inner-tubes that aspect of things is hopefully covered.
Of course, I'll report back when I get a p_nctr in the pissing rain after 80 miles of hill climbing, in the dark.
