If you had known it was essentially a tubeless setup with sealant, and known that you need to top up the sealant every now and then, it probably would've sealed up before you knew there had been a puncture.
I suggest that you get it set up as proper tubeless, maintain it properly, and enjoy. Tubeless isn't right for everyone...But if it is appropriate for you, it's really quite useful.
