Well has no one told you yet that you can get tyres with different strength carcasses! 
When I put tubeless on my downhill bike I ( local bike shop ) put extra sticky heavy duty carcass tyres on it at the same time. Think they cost about £65 each.

I’ll need to change tyres soon, so which ones do you recommend?
The fourth set you fit in about mid July.
Dried up?! You need to ride it more!
Sorry Nutty, you misunderstood what I meant. The sealant had dried up because there were so many punctures from the thorns, which is also the reason why I haven't gone back to tubes. Tubeless is definitely the way to go (for where and how I ride) but it is not quite the "fit and forget" that people believe.
My current favourite tyres are Michelin enduro wild btw.

Maybe the weight is flexing the sides of the softer sided tyres you have causing leakage,if so that would suggest putting some harder sided tyres on would alleviate the problem.
I'm preferring the Schwalbe stuff on my MTB's, "Nobby Nic" seem to be a good all rounder, plenty of grip in most off-road conditions but can feel slow on the road... https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mtb/tyres?f=4294954610
I like Conti's on my road bikes. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/road/tyres?f=4294954480 - seem fast rolling and they have puncture protection on some variants too
And with a tubed tyre each of those thorns would have been a puncture, probably in the middle of a muddy forest. From the University of the Bleedin’ Obvious.
