Obviously with a very small hole that seals up and stays sealed you may never even know about it, and that's fine since it stays sealed, but yeah, if you have leaks that you know about specifically because they keep reopening then an inside patch sounds like the way to go. I'm not running tubeless at the moment but I have run it, and did a couple of inside patches like this. I didn't think of it as Plan B, either: if there's a hole, patching it is Plan A. Hoping it seals during a ride due to liquid sealant inside the tire should be thought of as Plan B.
