I spread the filler with a finger. I wore a latex glove and poured a little alcohol on my fingers first to help smooth it out. Its all sanded now and ready for paint.

I'm still unsure about where to put the pump. I'll probably get a short pump and put it above the new water bottle mounts.
Frame pump? People still use those things? Co2 is my friend.

I have tubless now, but on my other bikes, I run only these tubes https://www.amazon.com/Tubolito-Unisexs-Gravel-Bicycle-Orange/dp/B093H7SGS5?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ARIZE2JCT3XTI

Super light, resist puncture much better then traditional rubber tubes. DId I mention it is super light so you can be faster.
