I'm glad to see that good ideas can be created on the other side of the world given the same requirements.
We carry the same tool set plus plug kits (more than one is good as the glue does dry out in storage). The frunk is where I store tools and additional 204VAC adapters for charging in very remote areas or emergency situations. The frunk is not the most convenient place for storage when shopping so it has become the place for tools and things.
I still prefer storing the tire behind the driver's seat so that the contents of the main trunk are hidden from view. In fact, with a black tire bag the spare is almost invisible behind the driver's seat. Thieves like shiny things so a black bag is good.
I too am a fan of carrying a full sized spare. When we travel across Canada there are places and services (ferry crossings) that are booked much in advance and cannot be missed. A tire failure for any reason needs to be recovered quickly so that the journey can continue at speed. Anything less does not have value when we need it most.
