Glad you got it sorted !
Yep, you are spot on - the benefits of tubeless on an MTB or X-bike (on tougher terrain) far outweigh any occasional downsides.
Five of us were riding for 4 hard days last week battering ourselves down the amazing trails on Madeira. No flats or tyres issues, bar one tiny pinhole in a rear side wall that was plugged in a few minutes.
Modern MTBs are amazing; the only mechanicals were one broken spoke on the last day (and I had to tighten a few rear spokes). We'll all need new brake pads though, lol.
