We've owned various MH's in the past 10 years and I have never carried a spare. Kudos to the guys that carry them but I'd rather have the storage space for something else, not have to buy an extra tire that I may never use and age out at the same rate of the one's on the ground, and hope that I can actually lift and mount it, and my credit card for Coachnet takes up much less room and effort. To each his own.
So ... I guess that you are assuming that your phone can always connect?
We're often out and about in the Western U.S. where we don't have adequate cellular service. I'd wouldn't want to have a flat under those conditions - but also, why be limited by cellular coverage?
However, we carry a satellite based communication device in addition to an onboard spare and tools to mount it ... or maybe fix a flat without having to remove the tire.
