Cassette removal tool is fairly important safeguard if you're doing long distance, as well as the means to use it i.e. 6" wide-mouth adjustable wrench. On a panniered bike the spokes most likely to break are those on the rear drive-side, inaccessible with the sprockets still on. Crank removal tool is fairly important too - with all this and a multitool you're fairly sorted.
I take either a bivvy or a expedition hammock, with every 5th day in a b&b to have a good wash. You don't necessarily need to cook on the road in Europe as you can eat out very well for not much money.
