Ted: tubeless and modern sealants are separable; you can benefit from the latter without the former. I live in in one of the worst goathead locations in the world and successfully ride very fragile (Challenge Parigi Roubaix) and extremely thin, light, and supple (Compass Elk Pass -- these are even lighter than the P-R but far less fragile, IME) tires on and off road here using Orange Seal. Orange Seal will not prevent 100% of thorn flats, but it will prevent 95% plus.
Try Orange Seal in your road tubes. I find it works very well in tubes at higher pressures; it is only with pressures under 30 psi or so -- ie with off road tires -- that I found modern sealants ineffective; I run my F Freds tubeless.
