lightweight rim tape?
Blue Schwalbe tubeless tape is a lot lighter, not too pricy and reliable. Electrical tape is not strong enough. You could find some textured tape from 3M, it would do the tric.

Or Stan's is also an option

+3 on Veloplugs. Good to go!
Just be sure to get the "right" size.

Veloplugs have their own limitations. They do not fit all rim holes. Red ones can be too lose, the yellow ones will not sit in properly.
I used them for quite short period of time (Archetype rims). After having spectacular failure, where one of the plugs was melted down and pusched inside the rim, I thanked them for good.
Stan tape, cheaper alternatives: kapton tape or Tesa 4289 (very similar to Stans).

The cool kids are using Scotch Film Strapping Tape 8898 Ivory, 24 mm x 55 m


There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?
One.
So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

+1 on the scotch tape.
I'm curious if veloplugs plus skinny strippers would be good enough for road tubeless.

just came back from LBS and found some Stan's no tube rim tape. but they only have 21mm, whereas my kinlin 19mm profile rims have 16mm internal width.
took a sharpie.. drew a fine line around and took a knife and cut around it. now it's perfect 16mm.
