So how would that be any different than using tubes in the first place?
And by the way, it's pretty standard to carry a needle and thread for sewing up a rare gash in the sidewall. Additionally, for large punctures, you can get a few tubeless plugs/slugs and they work very well.
Plug them.

Rope type tar plugs. You push them into the hole from the outside with a needle and cut off what sticks out.

you don't need to spend anywhere near $50 https://smile.amazon.com/Genuine-Innovations-Tubeless-Plug-Patch/dp/B00B139BA0
What you ran into on the trail is why I have one of these guys in my kit when I go riding (just in case the sealant doesn't quite hold it) https://smile.amazon.com/Genuine-Innovations-Tubeless-Plug-Patch/dp/B00B139BA0
Long term, I'd still patch the tire, but I'm probably a more conservative rider.

Cheap plug kit
Also, if you are unaware, the issue with running tubeless is that if you get a flat, it can be very hard/impossible to re-seat the tire bead with a hand pump, especially a travel pump. So you always need to have an innertube incase you get a flat. For your house pump, if you dont have a compressor, make sure you get a higher volume pump like the topeak joe blow mountain, or even better, something that has a charge cylinder.
