I hadn’t really given tubeless much thought, but made the switch after a year of running clinchers on my tubeless ready wheels because I needed new tires and happened to have tubeless ready wheels so decided to give them a try. I really like them. I haven’t flatted in two years and can run lower pressure so get a more plush ride and better cornering. Supposedly, I also get better rolling resistance over a clincher with butyl tube but I think I would get the same benefit from using latex tubes.
