Any competent tire service can dismount / remount a tire on the side of the road. All you need to carry is the tire itself, no rim.
True, but if you have Roadside Assistance, they may not cover having the tire mounted on the wheel. When we had AAA+ with RV, they would only cover removal of the old tire & wheel and mounting the spare tire & wheel.

Help me stand under this; They tell you up front they will not provide a service you are likely to require, why pay them?
How many flats do you have a year? How much does it cost to have a tire service truck mount tire? And real important, IMHO, is how sure are you the guy that can't mount a tire on the side of road will be equipped both on the service truck and between his ears, to safely change the larger/heavier than normal wheel on the larger/heavier than normal vehicle?
