My understanding is that although there is an increase in weight, using multiple patches may add up to even more weight than the liners.

These haven't been mentioned in this thread which makes me think that they haven't been discovered by the group or that they are complete junk.
Tire liners add rotational weight and increase rolling resistance. Depending on the use case, you may have to go that route, but you might be better served with a tire that has that protection layer integrated into the tire.
