This was what I was about to say! Tubulars take a lot of criticism as being a PIA to mount, etc. BUT, the wheels can be 200 grams lighter, the ride is better, and from my personal experience of riding tubulars for 15 years, often as my every day wheels, I have had 3 flats in total. I have considered tubless but the issues that the OP listed have kept me from doing this. Just purchased a set of Boyd 44s in carbon tubular to replace my old and worn out Rolf wheels.
