If the tire is well treaded & worth the $$ to reinstall plus the cost of a tube AND the rim will accommodate a tubed tire, then Id go that way,, Ive never lost a tire repair with a plug,
How Big was that nail, diameter.. Where on the tire? Toward center or out close to the sidewall? Tires do some flexing when ya get over on the radius. Mite not be a good place for a boot,, How much Life is left in the tire? Do you Like the tires handling/stopping characteristics? Whats a new one cost? YOU factor in the cost of popping it off & back on the rim, you mite be ahead to slap a fresh one on,.,If the numbers come in close, go new. Nice thing about tubeless is you CAN plug them on the road, long as youve got a pump.
I carry a tire fixit kit, comes with green slime & a small compressor,.about $30.00 at,, geeze,, I dunno now,, BUT, Ive used it once, on a guys bike.,.,Just need a 12V supply to it,, its slow, but its better than calling a tow truck
