Is tubless on a CX bike an option at this moment in time?

If so what's the best things to get for a fast rolling option?

I've had success with ghetto tubeless. Great on thorn riddled bridleways.
Fails miserably with flints 😥 but that's down to the paper thin sidewalks rather than the tubeless bodge...

Yes though I had a nightmare with rim strip methods. I now have Stan's rims and it's perfect.

I have two current set ups: First is Stans Alpha rims with Clement Strada's tyres, second is the Ironcross disc rims with Clement PDX's.

Like said above, cross tyres don't have the thick sidewalls of MTB tyres, so the tubeless option is great for avoiding thorns and pinch flats, but you'll slice a tyre much easier than on an MTB.
