partially related, but did my first tubeless setup on my gravel bike. Front tire seated in like two pumps with normal floor pump and I got it done no problemo. Rear tire would not seat with any of the tricks I had prepared. Considered getting one of those tubeless inflators but shitters cost like half of what a cheap compressor would, so bought a compressor instead. Insta seated the rear tire with compressor and got that done too. Wont have to worry about any issues later either when adding sealant or getting new tires either. TLDR just get a compressor.
