I've talked to (online, anyway) a tandem captain who had that happen.

O Gawd. Talk to the 2 experienced mechanics about the likelihood of
that happening.

I'm pretty sure no experienced mechanic would be in favor of
having a tire come entirely off the rim on a fast downhill after a
puncture, or would think that a good learning experience.

You opinion against that of 2 very experienced mechanics.
The downside I see is rather the need to continually monitor the
tire pressure, as it seems to be air pressure alone, and not
bead-to-wall interaction, that keeps the bead where it should be.

Interesting experience! I've built my own bikes since

I think in this case "learning the very hard way" would most
likely involve a puncture on a fast downhill and the tire
coming entirely off the rim, and I'm pretty sure you really
wouldn't want to learn anything that way.
