Switched to tubeless last year, but prior to that I've patched a few as an emergency and tossed it when I get home. All of my patches held but I didn't trust a single one. $10/tube was cheap insurance against a potential disaster. I do run latex on my gravel/cx bike and those go into the trash immediately as they're far more difficult to properly patch. Hurts a little more when you pay 2-3x the price though :(
