Interesing idea. Wonder if it is possible to plug a tire and hold some air pressure long enough to get to a convenient place for repairs?
I do remember seeing someone selling a conversion for tubed (spoked) wheels to run tubeless. It was on the internet so you can be sure how it would work.

Silicon can be thinned with water when it is first removed from the container. How about diluting it into a consistency of paint and just painting into the rim in order to seal the area that has the spoke nipples on the inside of the rim. One could paint a couple of layers of this mixture, let dry. Cover with the rim protector and try to run tubeless.
