Need 50mm TPU tubes. I don't see anything out there. Any thoughts? I just have to switch to MTB tubes (29 x 1.9-2.5)?? (and no, I don't want to do tubeless)

Tubeless is the answer.
Forget the tires… what’s with that fork?😳
If u running 50mm. Tubeless is the answer, way better than TPU. You can just send it down lolz
Rene Herse sell some for $$

I’m not fond of tubeless either. I swapped tires too often on my gravel bike
Ridenow makes 29” 1.9-2.5 TPU tubes
I switched my seigla to tubeless. I’d recommend that. And keep a plug kit on hand just in case. Much easier.
Theres plenty of mtb tpu tubes on aliexprs for little money
What’s the problem with going to “MTB tubes”?
A tube is a tube, and a fat gravel tire is just a narrow 29″ MTB tire.
Check Pirelli. I use TPU tubes on my 650b 45mm and I’m fairly sure they make them for 700c 50mm too.
29×2 and 700×50 are the same size. Yes 29×2 tpu tubes will work fine for you.
Just bought some of these. Very happy with them.

RideNow and Cyclami make wide gravel TPU tubes. I’m tubeless but use these as emergency spares. They have 65mm valve stems too for my 50mm deep rims
Tubeless + Dynaplugs
Highly recommend tubeless, especially if you’re using that Seigla on the terrain it’s designed for
I bought TPU’s for my 700×40’s when they are replaced I’ll go tubeless
