Don't know about your tire since I don't do tubeless yet. But the cut or puncture looks like a plug might be a good idea. But I'll defer to other tubeless users that know better.
i would tend to agree that I can’t imagine the cost of manufacture being much less. Just strange that the price of these have come down so much from one iteration to the next when tires are still in high demand.
I think I’ll take a look at a patch I side perhaps. I have plugs for road side repairs when sealant won’t work but since it did I figured I’d either leave it be or patch or replace depending on recommendations. I’d hate to replace though since they have less than 400 miles
