I've had one flat tire and one DI failure. The car came with a spare tire, so I used it. The car did not come with a spare DI, and having not owned a Saab before, nothing in 35 years of car ownership had alerted me to needing a spare engine part, so I did not have one to use. That is probably true for many people - you get the spare after you've had a failure. So if the fact that most people have not had 2 DI failures reassures you, go for it.
If you have a DI failure in high speed traffic or a remote location, report back on how you feel then. I've had lots of flat tires over the years; trust me, the DI is a much bigger problem than a flat tire.
