No matter how "tough" a camera is...they still can break as sh*t happens. I was shooting the Kumb Mela bathing ceremony from the Ganges waste deep in water. I saw 3 Canon cameras go under water and became toast. Unfortunately for 2 of these photogs, they had no spare so they were done for the day...in fact done for their once in a lifetime trip.
Exactly .. anything can break. Almost as exact, is that weaker things usually break easier.
It may boil down to budget, insurance, and as you said "extras".
On the other hand, I'd prefer not to stop and mount a spare if I need to get moving. I recall one time 15 miles on gravel with a hiking group. My truck got two flats one way, and nobody else with cars or trucks got any spares. I upgraded to 10 ply tires.
So a spare helped. 10 ply helped much more in the long run.
