I'm in a 7.3, but I carry a spare cps, socket/wrench set, fuel additive, nitrile gloves, paper towels, and an led worklight. I think there's something else back there but it's slipping my mind at the moment.

Ummm, it's a V-10, all you really need is a card to buy lots of gas! 
I carry a spare COP and a set of 3 small tool bags with both standard and metric wrenches & sockets as well as a selection of various screwdrivers, pliers and other small odds and ends. This has served us well for both the EX and TT over the years. Our only issue with the truck when out on a trip (EX is our dedicated tow rig) was a fuel pump failure at a nearby campground. It was cold and raining hard that weekend, so I had it towed home to replace the pump, but could have and would have done the job there with better weather with the tools I carry.

IMO the most likely things to fail on a mod motor with the age/mileage of yours are water pump, alternator, starter or a COP. If you have enough tools to replace those on the road you should mainly be fine, and have enough tools to deal with any other unexpected fiascos. Wouldn't hurt to have some tools to replace brake calipers or some light suspension work should you need it. Again if you have a comprehensive metric/SAE set with you and a few pliers/screwdrivers you're ahead of the game.

When traveling (vacationing)
On my first X (V10) I carried 1 extra COP, pliers and a screwdriver.
Only issue I ever had was hood latch wouldn't latch, one quick call to Razzi took care of that No tools were needed.
Second Ex (6.0) I carried needle nose pliers and a screwdriver.
Only issue was couldn't decide on a good restaurant to eat in Savannah GA. Again a quick call to Mark (Mecdac) and that was that.
Back in October I drove my 911 almost 7,000 miles Fort Lauderdale to Connecticut and back with plenty of sightseeing detours up in New England. Drove home with a bad cold, relaxed for 4 days and took off for the 2nd half of our vacation to the mountains of GA, TN, NC.
My 911 doesn't even have a spare tire!
There is a basic tool kit somewhere under the frunk carpet lol, I think.
I guess my point is stay on top of the maintenance and do preventive maintenance that will be key and don't run out of gas.
