Better to have and not need, than to need and be SOL ��
On a camping tour, it's a whole different thing. Bringing a basic tool kit including a chain breaker is only sensible. BITD I'd put together a mini kit with 4/5/6 allens, multiwrench for the hexheads, chain breaker, spoke wrench. Nowadays I have a little multitool. For the OP, I think the former old school approach is a lot more sensible than trying to swap out all the bolts.
I maintain however that a properly set up all campy Masi or equivalent should not require any tools for a normal ride. That's kind of what it's designed for. FWIW I rode my campy Masi for years and never needed tools on the road. This was for long distances
and often over substantial gravel sections.
