Quoted message said:1. Do tubeless tires really make a difference?
Depends. If you hardly get flats or like changing flats than no it's not
worth it.
If you ride in areas that are flat prone areas or use thru-axles front and
back then it's worth it.
Quoted message said:2. Is the "Stan's" system any good?
Never tryed Stans. I use the ghetto method.

Quoted message said:3. Has anybody used this system on WTB Speed Disc Rims?
Ghetto method should work.
Quoted message said:4. How well do they really hold air.
The Ghetto method lose air about a pound a day. Not a problem for riding.
Quoted message said:5. notubes.com recommends not using CO2....that sucks. (this is a
comment and not a question)
Not sure if they mean to pop the bead or fix a flat. I wouldn't use it to
pop the bead. You could waste a lot of CO2 if you fail to inflate. I have
used it to reinflate when I discovered a slow leak on the trail.

Although I've never flatted on my current tubed tires, I'm thinking
about giving tubeless a try.
May not be worth it if hardly flat. It is a fun experiment if you're the
mad scientist type.
