True tire sealant will not rust rims. The majority of it is water soluble too. So cleaning up a rim or tire that has it in it just requires water. Now the fix-a-flat stuff is corrosive and is just made to inflate a tire so you can get to where you can have the tire repaired.
I have just about all of my front tires mounted tubeless with the tire sealant in it. I use the JD stuff as I can buy it for $125 for five gallons. That is not a bad price.
An example of it working: Neighbor has a JD MFWD loader tractor. The front tires have 80%^ tread. He was having flat tires left and right. Always the tube pinched. The inside of the tire had some small breaks in the lining. They would slowly rub a hole in the tube. He was having them repaired about once each month for the tune of $50 each time. We dismounted the tires and removed the tubes. We put half of a five gallon bucket in each side or 2 1/2 gallon each. That has been four years ago and he has not had to add air since.
I have also done this on older tractors. Customer has a IH 300 utility that he uses to bush hog with. He has Honey Locust trees. His front tires are loaded with thorns. I removed the tubes on the IH 300 rims and used the tire sealant on them 15 years ago. He has to add air every now and then but they have not gone clear flat.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
