Yeah, definitely. I don't see an upside to leaving something in, but there's certainly downside, like rim damage or making the tire damage worse. I suppose that, if you're not too confident in your sealant, you might leave something in until you're in a better location to deal with it, but I don't think that I'd personally go any further than the next shady spot that's clear of the traffic lane.
