I've had about 6 punctures on 28c tyres that have all sealed and lost next to no pressure allowing me to not even get off my bike, including some times in the rain.
I've spent about 25 quid getting them both tubeless so about on par for inner tubes if you aren't repairing them with patches and saved myself a lot of time stood at the side of the road in the cold over winter.
I 100% back tubeless road. People are just scared

I have a much easier time just explaining that all my outdated bike tech is shit because it's old, rather than trying to justify to people why something modern is shit and wildly fucking expensive. The more money you spend the more you need to make up fanciful excuses for why it doesn't work.
Someone consolidated tubeless for me very well the other day:
MTB - Yes
