“evidence based view” eh? I ride tens of thousands of miles a year, in all conditions, and I’ve found tubeless road tyres to be a complete liability. They are a complete nightmare to work with when you get a big cut, and even if you get a puncture that does seal, because of the higher pressure to volume on a typical road tyre, you’ll find yourself down to 40 or 50 psi ( in my substantial experience). This invariably means that when you catch a pothole or drain cover, or something else ( particularly if it’s dark and / or wet ) you’ll really damage the wheel / rim which is going to be another problem for you. Now on an off road bike, tubeless is the best thing since sliced bread, as you will be running much less pressure to volume, which means any pressure drop whilst any puncture is sealing, will really not be as big a problem, and the ability to run at lower pressure initially is actually useful. YMMV ( probably by tens of thousands of miles by the sounds of it). People are ( of course ) entitled to their opinions on the matter.
