29er & puncture vine

Hello, I'm new to this forum and seriously need advice on whether tubeless is what I need to try to (hopefully) increase my puncture resistance to the evil puncture vine that infects so much of our rural America. I have yet to find anyone who can tell me exactly why (if so) they would be better than tube tires for puncture resistance. I'm aware of all the other advantages of tubeless so please limit replies to those relating to puncture resistance (tube vs tubeless) as I'm really not interested in pinch flat, rolling resistance, or speed, or weight advantages. Also, please don't recommend a "puncture resistant" 29er tire that you personally have not tested by getting hundreds of puncture thorns in it. By far it is the puncture vine that slows me down the most. If you can lead me down the right path I will be eternally grateful! Thank you so much for your valuable time.
