agree.

to be clear, i know some people have had good luck in this application, but i dont think the compass slick tire offerings, like the bon jons are a good choice for chunky gravel. their thin, supple sidewalls and non-meaty treads are what make them ride so nicely, but are certainly not ideal for guarding against punctures.

for predominantly road and smooth well groomed dirt and crushed stone type "gravel" they are excellent.

i would guess that people who have had major issues with flatting and durability have maybe asked a little too much from such a supple thin tire.

i have no experience setting them up tubeless either.
