Have you tried tubeless? I've run them on mountain bikes for yonks, and have now done so on my (non-racing) road bike for about 2 years now with very few complaints. (My race-race bike is fitted with tubs)

They can be messy, but I've lost count of the number of self-healed punctures I've had over the years. A small loss of pressure and off you go.

+1 for tubeless -- I switched a few weeks ago after getting sick of weekly punctures in Phoenix -- already saved me a boatload of time and trouble.

Currently running WTB Venture 47c [changed from Horizons] on a 650b 'gravel bike', fantastic stuff, gets me where I wanna go.
