Quite so. Frankly, I reckon the less you load your bike, the less prone you are for a puncture. If you ride tubeless rather take a tube along for safety's sake. For my old beemer (front 21", rear 17", tubeless) I only ha a puncture kit and a 19" tube, which could be fitted front or rear if the puncture cannot be plugged. But make sure the rubber glue hasn't dried up - as happened to me some months ago ;o)
Less weight means more fun and less tyre wear.... 
Actually I met a guy who had hand-stiched the sidewall of his front tyre and he managed to reach the next city
