Really no need to replace the tyre it if the puncture is towards the centre of the tyre. Modern proper puncture repairs will last the lifetime of the tyre safely - I've done three trackdays with plugged tyres. The professionally fitted plug I have in the front tyre of my Versys was put in when I got a puncture in Malta and I rode back through Europe with it in there. I'll keep that tyre til it needs replacing through wear.
I wouldn't keep a 'kept under the seat for emergencies' roadside repair plug in for any longer than it takes me to get the bike to a tyre fitter and have it done properly.
