Seems like belt and suspenders to me. I don't trust my original wheels to be clean enough for a good seal. Don't want to come to garage after weeks of storage and find a flat tire.
When I bought DiamondBack Auburn (see the avitar) I asked the salesman about this. His response was up to you, tubeless or with tubes either way is OK.
So why not use tubes? What harm?

No harm in using tubes designed for radials but why the extra expense if not needed? Using a tube designed for a bias ply tire in a radial will fail.
Some people get away with things we shouldn't do, like driving on 15yr old tires. But does that mean we should all do it?
In the end you have to make the decision that you feel comfortable with no matter how many opinions and facts you receive.
