Question about going tubeless vs keeping tubes on a gravel bike

I've been running tubes on my gravel bike for years but finally tried tubeless last month after a buddy swore by it. Setup with Stan's sealant took me about 45 minutes per wheel and it's been holding air fine. But I punctured a sidewall on a rocky section near Boulder and the sealant barely did anything - had to throw a tube in anyway. Anyone else find tubeless not worth the hassle for rocky terrain or am I doing something wrong with the sealant amount?

Heard a mechanic say thicker sealant works better for rocky stuff...
