Also to consider is that if you trash the rims, the TL hubs are very difficult to re-build with a different rim (non Shimano) because the spokes use a threaded nut on the hub side.
I think you're right. The bead on the TL is a PITA with a clincher tire.

If you don't need tubeless.
GO CL and use veloplugs.
It would be the lightest option.
Plus, some people says that TL is hard to mount clincher tyres.
Some wheels have different rim shapes between TL and CL version. But I don't know shimano's too

On second thought, as long as you take care not to lose any of the nuts, you can roll threads on both ends of any spoke. So I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Is it difficult to get the tire fit in the rim bed properly?
