I’m not familiar with these tubeless patches meant to go inside a tire under the tread, but it sounds like a real PITA to do, raising the question why not just use a plug repair, which is a whole faster and easier and just as permanent, if not more so.
I mean, the tire in question is sealed, so I’d be reluctant to do anything more than try to fill the tread cut to keep debris out, but if I were worried about it, I think stuffing a “bacon strip” in there would be my approach to a permanent, durable repair.
