a clincher-tubbie? Clubbie?

I wonder if the same could be done with some Temu-TPU tubes. As long as it is the newer types with metal valve stems and/or replaceable valves.

Not quite. This is actually a borderline genius move IMO.

Tube + sealant fails because of the movement between the tyre and tube which constantly causes the offending spiky thing to break the seal so you'll slowly lose pressure and sealant, this sorts that out.

Only downside I can see is if you get a cut too big for the sealant to close up you're binning tyre and tube cos that's not coming unstuck.

They say you can use a plug. But if its a cut then its over.
