I'm also in the 3 tubes plus patch kit camp.
So far I've never needed to use the kit but once used all three tubes
due to a hard to find wire embedded in the tire.
Another good thing about Jack Browns is that I've been able to limp
home with slow leaks much better than I can
on my skinny tire bike.

BTW, I plan to carry a spare tube but that may be overkill
considering the wider tires and thicker tubes, compared to the road

Actually, I carry three plus a patch kit.
While you are correct that the tires and tubes you'll use on your
Bleriot are far less fragile than those on a typical "road bike,"
remember too that nobody on a ride with you is going to have a tube
your
size, and there are some tube failures -- like a valve problem -- that
can't be fixed with patching.
