I've patched a few times using those Park Tool pre-glued patches.

Have had one failure where it "slow leaked" all the way home and I had to top the tyre up a few times (likely user error in patching) but every other time they've been fine. I don't go into triple-digit psi though!

Like above, I carry one spare tube, so the patches only come out at the roadside if I get a second flat.
