Properly glued, they simply don't come off. Hence I ride them. Care to answer my question?
When you use sealant in a 30 mm wide tyre at around 60 ps on relatively wide rims, “blowouts” are not really a thing like they used to be with 120 psi 23c clinchers. I have had just one such high speed tubeless “blowout” when I rode over a sharp metal object and it just deflated slowly while the sealant did the best it could. I had plenty of time to brake to a safe stop.
You could always run liners for extra run-flat protection like some of the pros now do for races like Paris Roubaix.
