Tubular / Rando

The nature of this question begs insanity, but I am readying one of my vintage steel steeds for a few randos this year, starting this weekend and this bike has tubulars. Granted, they are great tubulars with Stan's inside, Veloflex Vlaanderen with latex inside that should seal, but alas I have never changed a tubular on the road. I always carried a spare, but I would love to hear if others have ever tried a Rando on tubulars. I get it, tubulars are lite and created for races where speed matters and you have support teams to swap wheels, but is the modern tubular with Stans or another brand suitably reliable?
