I've never seen a properly patched tire fail.
And I've never seen a plugged tire fail. Ever, car or truck or bike..

I'm not saying it's impossible, just not guaranteed to happen.

If you don't like it, by all means, don't do it. But, a couple bucks an maybe I'll get another flat, or I can drop 300 for a new one.

Also, they wouldn't explosively decompress. They'd lose air just like a normal flat..
