Had you pulled over and put a plug in it, would it have been OK? Not that I would have on the M3.
The MX-5 has no spare or jack, although it has a place for the jack. It's supplied with gloop and a pump. In 2018 we took it across the channel twice so I found room for some extra gloop, a jack, and a tyrestring repair kit. Fortunately didn't have to use it.
Earlier this year the boss got yet another puncture on a nearly new tyre. Rather than put the temporary spare on I temporarily plugged it. It worked fine and took not very long to do. After a couple of day's thought I ordered a new one and got the mobile fitter to come and put it on, because it was near the shoulder (the alternative in my mind would have been a mushroom plug repair from the inside). The fitter thought that in practice my repair would have been absolutely fine.
