Holding pressure for 10 minutes might not be enough. On several occasions I've had punctures on my road bike that sealed up and got me home without any problems. (Other than the mess, of course.) They seemed fine when pumped back up to normal pressure, however, the puncture re-opened within a mile when I rode on them. So, although they were rideable with sealant alone at low pressure, they needed to be plugged to work at normal pressure. YMMV.
