I've been on rides with people who have tubeless. They didn't fair any better and I've seen tires delaminate with surprising frequency. On one particularly tack burr (aka goatheads) infested ride, we had around 40 punctures between 4 riders. One had 27 by herself and her boyfriend with the tubeless had 10. My wife had 3 and I had none. I used tire liners and forgot to put one in my wife's front tire I'm also good at spotting fields of goatheads and steering around them. I used to tease the goathead collector until I did the ride the next year and the goathead gods smited me mightily. That's the ride where I stopped counting at 63. I was humbled.
