Do tubeless rims need tape?

How can you tell if a rim is tubeless ready?
A tubeless ready rim will have a sidewall with a hooked design, which helps catch and hold the bead. Older rims will appear rounded without a hook shape. The shape of the rim will force the bead up snug against the outer hook, and will have a deep section in the middle to make it easier to remove.
How often should you replace tubeless rim tape?
