Exactly. That's why I don't bother with spare spokes or spoke tools.

I've gone with the thinking that if you manage to make it to a bike shop they have a spoke of the right length.

Better to make sure your wheel is well built and not likely to fail.
Mine hopefully are!
I'm taking 3 spares with the thought that they'll survive if one breaks but would take it to the next shop to have fitted at next opportunity and at least they'd be the right length already for the shop to fit. -
Dt Swiss rearhub?
Pretty sure I can pull the whole freewheel and cassette off without tools.

If you take spare spokes the most likely ones to go are drive side on the rear. So how are you going to get your cassette off to replace?

According to @cycleclinic who built my wheels, hitting potholes doesn't typically cause spoke breakage.
