To me it would depend on where you go.
If you stay on the main roads in the area of larger towns a tire alone would be enough. Problem would come up if you are in the back country areas on dirt roads or off road even. Just about any roadside assistance company could change a tire but not all have the mobile unit to mount a tire.
Second thing would be how likely are you to damage a rim? If you stay on the paved roads and have a tire pressure monitor system then you should be fine 90% of the time. If you are going down gravel or worse roads it only takes one rock or deep hole to damage the rim and tire.
I don't have a dually so an extra tire mounted to a rim above the back bumper is my safety net. Also if for some reason roadside is not around I can do it or anyone can help me change things out.
