Not really. Schwalbe is making road tubeless tires, Continental is not. I think the issue has to do with the higher pressures that road tires run at. A 2.2" MTB tire runs at 20 or 30 PSI while a 23mm road tire runs at 100 PSI.

I would say a vast majority of roadies are still using tubes. I really want to make the switch to tubeless but requires a bit of an investment on the consumer side at the moment. A bit harder to find rims and tires that are compatible than in the MTB world where that stuff is everywhere.
