I don’t flat often either but I have needed a tube from time to time. My flats seem to be from unusual things now. A snapped spoke shoots through the rim tape, or I hit something hard and crack the rim bed between the beads. (You were there that night) but actual holes are not frequent at all but still I carry a tube and plugs. I carry a pump too because I am notoriously lazy about checking pressure before a ride and a couple good thumps cause me to stop and air up.
