It should hold up pretty well with the spokes individually sealed before the multiple layers of rim wrapping. I believe they either replace the spokes or make sure they are in good shape and tighten/adjust each one before the sealing. However, any break in the seal at the spoke would cause a leak. They seem to have a pretty good track record. I have also seen sealed "Milwaukee Twins" tubeless wire wheels for sale in JP Cycles for around $300 so other manufactures make these too.
At about $100/wheel including shipping it may be a reasonable option and pay for itself (break even) if you pick up a nail. It would also allow you to plug the tire and get back on the road within minutes without having to take half a day and everything apart to replace the tube. Another advantage to tubeless is the leak would be potentially slower allowing you to keep the bike under control until you stop.
Cheers!
