When you eventually do get a flat, you're going to need CO2 cartridges or other pressure assist device to reseat the tire. You'll also need to carry a spare bottle of sealant. Then in order to eliminate the possibility of being stranded, you have to carry spare tubes anyway. So at that point you're carrying all the kit for a tubeless setup, plus all the kit for a tubed setup.
And don't forget many airlines require tires to be deflated for flight.
