The key factor IMHO is the person and the tyres not the basic technology. Some tube rims and tyres (moto Guzzi) were so tight we struggled with a shop bead breaker. OEM unlubed Bridgestones on the Bonneville were close to impossible while lubed and hand fitted Hidenaus could be re-tubed with one 4-inch lever in five minutes.
Likewise I've seen mushroom plugs fail to hold because the fitter was clueless and a silly string repair that lasted the life of the tyre.
Choose your weapon how you like (i like tubeless) but practice with it.
