I’m not worried about one trip soon after purchase, I’m worried about one trip about 5-10 years after purchase. By then, I’ll probably have misplaced the spare or the spare has died, and I’d be SOL.
I rarely ride for pleasure, it’s almost exclusively for transportation, so I’m not going to be doing a ton of prep for each ride. I want things to fail gracefully so I can reliably get home. Having shifting completely fail is a pretty big deal.
