Spare tyre or no spare tyre?
I've only ever had tyre failure twice, once on TCR and then again on Ipwr. Both were sidewall punctures, one tubeless, one with tubes. Both times I was able to patch the tyre up and ride 1000+km on it. So I still wouldn't take a spare. Just make sure you have plenty of patches and something to make a boot with.

170 grams for a bit of insurance.
I didn't take one on TCR but the population density is much higher so there was unlikely to be 100i hike to the next town.
