I'm seeing more and more run Mousse front and rear in Outdoors. SX, some rear only, while some guys go back to tubes both ends.

Interesting. Regular tubes or fatty tubes?
Are fatty tubes lighter than mousses still?

Any pros running tubeless? Seems like a no brainer according to the data I've read on it. Or am I missing a factor that pros would introduce causing them to be inferior to a heavy tube?

No team that I'm aware of, and the system is pretty easy to spot.

How exactly is it easier to spot a TUbliss setup? Everything mounts the same, doesn't it?

But anyway, I was having an argument with my brother because he swore most teams ran those TUbliss set ups but I was certain more teams run either a mousse setup or just regular tubes, depending on what the rider complains about.

I run tubliss and love it... I'm suprised more don't run them. Definitely saves weight and no flats!

There is two valve stems, one of which also serves as the rim lock which is distinctive in itself...(if I remember correctly).
