You haven't listed a spare tyre so def. take a tyre boot. On a short weekend tour earlier this year, my carrying a couple of the Park Tool ones meant my riding partner could limp on with a gash in his tyre. They weigh nothing but can be super useful to allow you to ride on as far as a shop!
Second thing - if you follow Ed's advice to pack a small backpack, buy an Alpkit Gourdon. They are cheap and light and as a dry bag / rucksack are incredibly versatile. The back pad is removable to sit on if you are stopped somewhere and in the event of a different bit of your kit failing, you can carry stuff easily.
