Hence I wonder if a upgrade to TPU tubes would be noticeable...

I'd be interested in people's personal measurements of differences.

To be honest, I don't care about this difference. I carry a TPU tube in
the saddlebag because it takes up a lot less space than a standard butyl
tube and because I don't anticipate needing it for anything other than a
fallback in case the tubeless tire doesn't get sealed by the sealant.
