Having to go through that pain on mounting a new tire, I couldn't imagine having to go through that every 6 weeks to 3 months to "refresh" the sealant.

I'd rather spend the $1000 on tubes.
Sounds like a mismatch between tire and rim...as in not having a tubeless ready tire or rim or both. Or someome that doesn't know what they are doing. Took me 10 minutes tops to set up each tire tubeless on my mtb. Maintenance is easy with this...

Plus the added benefit of less rolling resistance and less weight going tubeless.
