and knowing which sealants work better for the higher pressures needed for narrow width (75-85 psi)?
...and, of course, pressures are relative to the weight load of the rider and bike... so knowing the weight of a rider making comments has some qualifications of the comments...
of course 28 width is not 25, but one can, at least, makes some inferences ...
maybe I need to start a thread... ?

I only just went tubeless. So I can't really say. However I felt that Silca Ultimate would be a good choice for tires run at higher pressures. Don't know why I felt that way. I'm 175 lbs. Rode 25mm tires for the last 8 or more years. And just two weeks ago went tubeless with 29mm Aero 111 tires on DT-Swiss r470 db rims. OrangeSeal valvestems. At the moment I'm running 75 psi rear and 70 front. Previously on my 25mm GP 5000 tubed tires I ran 110 psi rear front and 100 front. But have been known to pump the rear up to 135 psi and didn't think it uncomfortable at all on the roads we have here. Though for timse when part of the Natchez Trace Parkway was chip seal, I'd run lower pressures for the day I planned to ride that stretch. But also that time when the NTP had chip seal, I also used 23 mm tires or less..
And again, narrower was just relative to what the OP couldn't run on his bike. So don't think I'm saying that you should run narrower tires than what you have been running.
