OP here... A quick status update.
So, decided to patch my cut tire just to see if it works. Pure curiosity, I am an engineer after all. 😁
In a brief, it looks ok when the tire is off the wheel, but it doesn't look great if I put it on the wheel and pump it up properly.
I guess it will last longer than the famous dollar bill patch trick, but I won't trust the tire for any purpose rather than to get home on a cut tire.
Thanks to all who replied.
