FWIW I carry 2 tubes, patch kit, co2 and a pump.
All that plus $20 boot/emergency fund, presta/shraeder adapter. On the tubeless bike, add sealant, tubeless valve stem, plug kit. Occasionally a spare tire.

I don't carry a spare left crankarm and bolt, though I did see one fall off a bike at PBP last year
