Thanks @Hjusth for the assessment of the risks (and fixes) and cheers too to @wot for the anecdata on how these things can go.
I tried to find a new one, but can’t find stock anywhere (this is a 50-559 Supreme).
I’m going to try the gluing and patching route, and if it feels okay, stick it on the rear. I wouldn’t exactly say I’m going to be killing it - it’s average 25km rides around London roads. I’ll keep an eye on it and replace as soon as something comes up. Bummer for sure - I’ve got three sets of (different) 50-559 tires all with one of each set with some kind of damage!
