Therefore, my assessment is that flats are more likely in the rear, a cut is more likely to reopen in the rear (due to weight distribution), and the odds of that particular cut reopening on the front are extremely low.

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.
To recap, you suggested someone remove both tires so the cut tire can go on the front then set both back up tubeless, but you think it sounds like a PITA to remove 1 tire and patch it then set it back up?
1 is half as much as 2. If 1 is a PITA, what is 2?
