Yes that magical!
I’ve actually pulled a goat head from the tire and just gone on my way, smiling.
The glass cut I patched on the inside. Not sure I needed to, but I wanted to try. That was more time than a regular flat.
I finally decided I didn’t like that cut on the front, so I switched them. Once again, more time than regular tubed.
In summary
I may not be much ahead in maintenance time spent, but I’m way ahead on inconvenience avoided while on a ride.
Plus all my maintenance has been performed at home and on my schedule.
