A couple of other things to carry that don't take up much room, but you'll wish you had them, would be some work gloves, a small squeeze bottle of waterless handcleaner and some rags, a piece of cardboard large enough to kneel on to chance a tire, and a 6"x6" piece of wood to put under a jack if you're stuck on soft ground to change a tire. It's hard enough working on a car on the side of the road without having to get back in it all dirty. As for tools, I say carry anything you can think of that you might need and have room for. I have seen tape in Home Depot to repair leaky pipes that is double stick that might fix many types of leaky hoses. How about a repair kit for tubeless tires, the kind that you push a cord through the puncture, or a few screws of various sizes to push into a puncture, anything to get you moving again toward some real help. I've been stranded enough times so experience has taught me.
