I've long since cut back to one spare tube and a patch kit. Never had to resort to the patch kit *knock on wood.*
Sealant can be a mess but - at worst - just carefully break the bead and spill it out. With an effective sealant and some darts/plugs, that shouldn't be a problem that you encounter very often, though (unless you're riding supple tires through war-torn streets).
