I have no clue if an airliner could prevent that or not. Google airliner for road tubeless tires if you are not familiar with it.
Since I have never tried tubeless and probably never will, I am not speaking from experience, only what I have read. Good luck.
I have not ridden on skinny tubeless tires either, but... Some pro racers race on tubless so I think cornering can be managed. That said I was thinking of possibly riding a gravel bike with fatter tires than I have used lately for touring. So maybe I wouldn't be on that skinny of a tire. Not that I have been on a tour in a while or even ridden on the road much. These days I have been mostly trail riding other than a bit of road to get to the trail. I do expect to get out for more touring in the not too distant future though. I am just not sure exactly how far off that will be.
