I also got a flat doing the highwood last year, no cell service and no cars. I didn’t have to walk out, but the rest of the ride was spent being paranoid I had another flat...really reduced the enjoyment of the ride.
The main thing stopping me from trying tubeless now is the need to get new GP5000’s in a TL version, when the ones I have are still almost new.

no matter what tire type... slashes and gashes and flats suck!! And yeah, some folks are pretty quick changing them, and others are not.
My subjective opinion is that most folks get rear flats rather than fronts... so consider running TL in the rear then until you wear out your tube-'d tires.
