I currently have 6 sets of Rene Herse/Compass tires in use in extralight
and standard casing on 26", 650B, and 700c wheels and I have yet to
actually run any tubeless.  I do have several sets of tubeless wheels on
hand but I've just been too lazy and gunk averse to bother trying with
tubeless. I'll likely set up my son's gravel bike tubeless with a set of
switchback hill (650b x 48mm) at some point this summer though.

As others have noted...flats are a roll of the dice situation. What I can
offer is that I find no appreciable difference between Rene Herse tires and
anything else I've run in the past with regard to flat frequency (not much
- but now that I've said it out loud I'm doomed).

I am not easy on these tires by any means, and I've been massively
impressed by how they hold up. I have a set of Extralight Snoqualmie
(700x44) tires that have been on my Appaloosa for the last two years that
have held up great (and I ride that thing EVERYWHERE). My first set of
Compass tires (Extralight Barlow Pass/700 x 38) was purchased 5 years ago,
have seen me through multiple backwoods tours on a loaded LHT, and are
currently doing road duty on my fixed gear cross-check. I'm mostly moving
to standard casing when buying new tires now (just to have a little more
rubber on the tires), but my experience with the extralights has certainly
been surprising.

So, as with all things tire-related, your mileage may vary, but I've sure
been thrilled by the ride and durability of my Rene Herse tires
with tubes.
