What to carry with tubeless wheels?

Hello, I have just bought my first tubeless gravel bike (2021 Giant Revolt Advanced 0). I have never run tubeless before and I am excited to put it to the test. Normally I carry a tube, patches, bike multi tool and a Lezyne road drive hand pump mounted beside my water bottle cage.

Do I still need to carry a spare tube and pump with me on rides? Do you use these if the sealant doesn't do it's job and seal the puncture? So if I get a flat with a tubeless set up and it won't seal I am basically taking the tire off and installing a tube old school?

How hard is it to get the tubeless tire off the rim? Is it a really messy job? Do I need to carry a pump with me? Thanks
