Also, I wanted to add, what pressure were you running the tires at? Usually that (too low a pressure) is the first thing that causes tubes to fail.
That being said, these tubes are a known failure point. For a novice, particularly on the street, I'd run them at 25psi front, 30psi rear.
In addition, they weren't saying that the tires themselves are unsafe, just that they might not be airtight enough to run tubeless (which, again, I'd advise against, because it unnecessarily complicates things for now).
