I'm personally not a fan of the stuff for the same reasons your tyre fitters suggested.

Sealant doesn't really help much in this sort of situation anyway as the tyre will still go flat, generally the sealant requires the tyre to be re-inflated to actually do any sealing job.

I do use it in my wheelbarrow tyre though!
