Minor punctures can be fixed just by pulling out the tube, patching it, then pushing it back in. No wheel removal needed.
I do permanent patches at home.
In my experience, the GP-2 should be considered a temporary patch just to get back.
+1 on them being temporary. They deteriorate and fall off if not in a pumped up tire.
I carry a tube and a real patch kit. The tube is first choice if I'm riding with others but I'll patch if I'm riding solo (making sure to take my time to do it right). Snake bitten tubes get thrown out.
