Thanks for the informative blog!
I'm a road cyclist and not using tubeless.
I once received the tip to buy Continental Grand Prix outer tires.
They have an extra protection in them that prevents from punctures.
I've been riding between 4000 and 6000 kilometers a year for the past four years and only had one punctured tire.
When you cycle throught glass the glass literally breaks because of the protection layer.
They are a bit expensive, but I think they have saved me from several punctures already!

Hey! One puncture in four years is impressive, not to say lucky haha
You might have great roads near you. Here we get a lot of those small wires that come off truck tires; that's the nightmare for local road cyclists. For us mountain bikers the thorns.

I wouldn't go tubeless in your case. Totally not worth it if reinforced tires are doing the trick.
