I ran tubeless for around 18 months, on three bikes. Tyres were Schwalbe Pro One (on Ultegra wheels), Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season (DT Swiss R460 rims), and Hutchinson Sector 32's (Fulcrum Racing 6's 2 way fit). Stan's sealant.
I did about 14,000 miles on them, including LEL, where they did actually save me from having to fix the puncture once. However I did get a non sealing puncture with 7 miles to Loughton in the rain on the last night which required a noodle. That was a high point.
They were....OK. They ride really nicely and I didn't find the tyres difficult to fit or to seal, particularly on the Ultegra wheels which have no need for the tape. I was even able to change the tyres and sealant without making a mess.
I did not, however, have fewer punctures which required attention. I had many more. I probably shoved in a dozen 'noodles'/anchovies over that time, and replaced at least two tyres well before they were worn because of cuts which did not seal. I had to tube one tyre because of puncture which still wouldn't seal with the noodle.
In the end I was carrying a set of anchovies, some sealant, a boot and a spare tube, plus a CO2 inflator and a pump in case I needed to reseat a tyre.
I finally binned them off when my brand new Sector 32's punctured and failed to seal on their first ride after less than 10 miles, requiring me to ride home on a flat tyre (no tube on that occasion), on brand new rims.
Since changing back to tubes I have had one puncture (32mm GP4 Season) in 6500+miles, using either GP4's, GP4000's and Durano Pluses. Prior to tubeless I exclusively used Schwalbe tyres but I've found the Conti's really rather good. The GP4000's are so nice that they feel like tubeless, especially on a wide rim with ~90psi.
I can honestly say that I gave tubeless a really good go, I like the way they rolled, they feel super nice to ride, however in my experience the puncture resistance was pretty crap, and the sealing properties were poor.
Somebody suggested I try the 'race sealant' which had bigger grains, but by that point I was so pissed off with them I could not be swayed.
So yeah, I had problems with tubeless and cannot recommend them.
