The main benefit of tubeless is resistance to blow out.

I always use bead sealer on valve stems and the case of the leaky valve stems may have come from someone reaming those holes.

One thing I like about tubes is they hold air.

Tubeless works fine on old rims providing they are carefully prepped, but sometimes you just have to go to a tube.
