I don't know anyone that puts the pad spacer in whilst changing a flat. From what I've seen very few people put them in when transporting the bike on a roof rack or inside the car. I've never used one myself. I guess if you just can't be bothered to pay attention to what you're doing when handling the bike w/ the wheel removed they might be a good thing to have.
