First ride on CushCore XC

No, on the contrary. I think personally it’s an excellent idea. You are reducing your chances greatly of flatting in the first place, and you can still install a tube just as normal, it’ll just be slightly more physically taxing to remove the cushcore from the tyre, but far from impossible.

If I were doing back country riding of that nature I’d be looking at running a heavy casing to further reduce the risks, but that’s just me.
