I'm with you. I'm pretty happy with my road tubeless for feel, weight, and what I am told is an improvement in rolling resistance. But since I still have to carry a spare tube and CO2/pump just in case (I've flatted twice with tubeless), I'm not sure whether the hassle factor is worth it. I was pretty happy with good tires and latex tubes before I tried tubeless. This spring's setup may just depend on what my shop offers me the best deal on.
The one thing I am certain of is that I am annoyed with the "you'll never flat again" and "zero rolling resistance" tubeless missionaries. As you said, tubeless is just another tool in the toolbox, and it comes with it's own unique set of issues.
