Not sure what caused the OPs failure (though I too don't think it was just temperature differential), but for me, tubeless has been issue free for the past several years. This is everything from 28mm tires on up to 4.8" fatties, from 100F to subzero, paved to chunky steep singletrack, fast pacelines to leisurely cruises with the fam. I just don't worry or even think about my tires anymore. Air pressure check before the ride, sealant check once or twice a year. Other than that, i just ride. I'm pretty sure that the spare tube I carry "just in case" is probably rotted and non-functional at this point.

I have a box of flatted tubes in need of a patch that suggests it wasn't always this way.

That's one data point on the advantages of tubeless.
