"I have tyre worms, flexible superglue, a pump, CO2, valve core remover and a 2oz bottle of sealant." and presumably the worm applicator.
With tubes I can get away with a spare tube and a pump. On TCR I also had a patch kit and tyre levers but then to fix tubeless cuts you likely also need a patch kit, right? How long will a worm+superglue fix last? Doesn't the glue get knocked out while riding and reopen the cut?
hippy-
on a normal ride you probably would only take the tyre worms, flexible glue and a mini pump. (smaller and lighter than tube and pump)

permenant in my expereince. Had one tyre with two worms in it and glue for over 3000km. if it failed I would have patched from the inside. That tyre had two patched from the inside two. I put that tyre through the mill to find out how much abuse they can take. It had a sidewall cut that I fixed too. it did 7000 miles before I retired.

Worm repairs are in effect permanent. You put the worm on the tip of the tool, jab the tool through the tyre, pull out the tool, then cut off the trailing bits of worm. And the worm just stays there. I currently have a worm in each tyre.

Just had to many punctures that would not seal with stans. Effoetto mariposa has been much better.
Hookless rims for MTB great, for road not sure. It would require alot of testing with all tubeless tyres before I offer it. I worry about tyre blow off at higher pressures. You have to account for the end user not reading any warnings. I am not sure what the advantage would be for road either as burping is not a problem unless the rim beak hook is hopeless.
Hippy there is a guide on my website (news section) which goes through how to live with tubeless tyres and avoid faff. read it. there is a badly shot short video of how you fix a puncture. sidewall cuts can be dealt with too. My own experience of schwalbe tubeless tyres has not been great they puncture too easily. they are comfy though and have low Crr so they are not hopeless.
