Ultimately it would be nice to have tubless spoked rims but they are way to expensive.

With the glue method I'm not sure how big of a headache it will be to adjust the spokes when its necessary. I used acrylic type glue for the initial application over the spokes then standards silicone over that. Bought both from Homepro so very little cost involved just my time to do the work. I did have to drill the valve stem hole on the rear rim to fit the steel valve stem I bought. The main thing with any of the methods, I feel, is to get the rim as clean as you can.

I did the same treatment on the front tire as well but still run the tube in it. My theory is if I do get a flat on the front it will deflate slower and give me a bit more time to get pulled off the road. Information I've read on the net is that the front tube style rims dont have enough lip to keep the tire bead seated properly.

I put the tube rubber band back on over the spokes on the rear thinking it would help prevent damaging the glue when installing the tire. In a very short period of time the band shifted and I wasn't able to check the tire pressure as the band covered over the valve stem. Bugger. Tire off bike again, broke the bead and pulled the rubber band out and haven't had any problems since. I've only had to top up the pressure once after leaving the bike parked for a couple of weeks which I think is normal for any bike.

I have the Garmin tire pressure monitors on the bike and was a bit nervous the first couple hundred kilometers but to be honest it seems to have worked very well for me so far.
