Initially there appears to be a lot of advantages to tubeless tires. That flush very soon comes off the pumpkin. Thee is very little air in a bicycle road tire. So it doesn't require much of a leak to go flat. So even with sealant you can have a flat and then it is icky and messy.
Because of this chance for a flat you have to carry patches and tubes etc. anyway so you might as well have a nice clean tubed clincher tire which is also a great deal easier to mount and dismount.
