I wouldn't go out and replace a perfectly good set of wheels and tires just to go tubeless. If I was replacing stuff anyway, I would get tubeless.
Tubeless isn't really more expensive than equivalent quality tires and rims intended for tubes.
I'll have tubes around for some bikes for a long time. I don't really plan on swapping my commuter in the near future - none of my wheels are really compatible. If they were, or if I were replacing wheels on that bike, I would.
