In my experience, a pressurized can of tire sealant is effective on nail-sized punctures anywhere on a tire. A gash/slash is different.

Do these tires require a special rim? The reason I ask is if the rim is setup for this type of tire does it prevent using a normal tire later?
This would be extremely annoying for me... The 2005-2007 Odyssey Touring had run flats and EVERYONE is changing their rims to get rid of the requirement of the tire. The cost is insane on the tire. Thankfully they realized the error of their ways and made them optional from 2008 to 2010 and now they are not even available.

Currently, Tesla offers free roadside assistance with all new vehicle purchases, including some coverage for flat tires.I suppose I had better get a service like AAA.
I think what you are talking about is the PAX tire system that was developed for use on the Odyssey. Pax tires are different from regular run flat tires because Pax tires do require special mounting tool and a whole different system on the vehicle. Most Pax tires are being phased out but there are still some cars that have them like the Rolls Royce Phantom, and the older Honda vans.
Spare tires were for cars when people didn't have cell phones. Most people would rather call a tow truck than risk their life changing a tire on the side of a highway when they might ironically get clipped by a driver who is texting on their phone.
Before cell phones, you were stranded if you had a flat and either had to put-on a spare or walk to a pay phone. In that situation, I would definitely want a spare. Cell phone = no need for spare IMO.
Neither of two current cars has a spare nor did my last car (2008 model year).
