I know this has been done a bit, but anyway I have a set of the old Arch 29er rims not Ex ones so 19mm internal thinking of running some Conti Sport Contact/reflex Tyres 700x37 on my commuter
Questions:
1. Will I die?
2. Will a wire beaded tyre inflate tubeless? (I've run tubeless for years but never tried a wire beaded tyre)
3. Is 37mm wide enough
4. What pressure would you go to tubeless with road tyres?

I've just found these http://on-one.co.uk/i/q/TYSCMRCRF/schwalbe_marathon_racer_raceguard_folding_tyre

38mm folding might have answered my own questions!

I used some 35mm Maxxis Raze on my Arch Ex (21mm internal width) and didn't die. It was nice having the additional volume.

Dunno about the Tubeless issues but watch the max tyre pressures for your rim(these can safely be ignored if you are running tubes).

Why does running innertubes make a difference?
