For me, when I built my Ultimate Commuter with it’s 3 inch low pressure rubber, tubeless was a no brainer. I laugh in the face of hedge slashing season.
There is a little more of a grey area when it comes to narrower and higher pressure tyres. And arguements.

On the Good Bike at the moment, ceramic Mavic xc717s, xtr Vs, Nokon cables, oddesy Ti brake booster on the front. No wear. The original Shimano ceramic blocks were wonderful, but the rims suffered a glossy build up, over years, which took away some bite. After a long quest I managed to find a NOS pair of rims after the front developed a stutter on braking. Long quest. Fitted the xtr hubs to finish doing up all the groupset. Went swissstops blue for them. No build up. Continued bite. One finger braking is great, in the dry, wet needs two, and with thicker gloves in the winter. My Hope Tech3 R4s 203/160 are far more powerful and the stopping is pretty much unaffected by the wet and filth, but the front will scream when filth gets on it.
Disks put a stop to ceramic rims on xc bikes, I think it was a shame. Very light, and no rim wear. But a bit delicate.
If you want no wear get a set of ceramic or CSS rims.
