not used it enough to have a puncture. tyres are not tubeless so had porous sidewalls so took ages to get them to seal. they now stay up long enough for a ride.
any faff is worth the extra grip, lower weight and lower rolling resistance. dropped a whole kilo off the weight by switching to stans rims but still have a large volume sticky tyre. to say the ride has been transformed is an understatement. i'm not going back to tubed tyres and want to convert my hardtail to stans.
i take a tube with me in case the jizz doesn't seal but there should be enough sloshing around to seal thorns etc.
