I've had more flats with tubeless tires than tubed. My Griso had two, the last one a very nasty L shaped puncture that could not be repaired with ropes. The '14 CB had a high speed puncture and flat. I was able to limp to the rest stop to have my wife pick me (bad on me, I didn't have my tire repair kit with me - miss-packed).
I have had a couple flats that were very slow leaks and easily dealt with so I understand the preference to tubeless - but have had enough experiences where tubeless was not an advantage over tubed.
Naturally ones own experience will influence their choices - and luckily we do have choices. For those without experience, we can post our own so they have something to work with.
