My list of things that have been forgotten in the past:
Zip ties, first aid kit / bandages, advil / alleve, spare fuses / relays, heater control valve if you are driving a 944, phone charger

Agree w all your points and I USED to love my digital gauge, however...
Troubleshooting perspective: Its battery ran out smack dab middle of a hot morning where no shops are open til 11am on a Sunday, in the southeast, and the closest shops were 5 miles away.
Perhaps those tracks with pro-shops do carry spare batteries but I wasn't in a position to take advantage of that.
A fraction of PSI isn't (for me) worth the hassle of dealing with yet another set of batteries that need to be hunted down.
I spent about $80 on my analog gauge and it's a win.

Is that what you had in mind Coochas?
When you get understeer AND oversteer at the same time give me a call - I think I can diagnose the problem!

I believe it's because there is so much heat in the brakes that the pads can seize to the disc or drum surface.

Build a check list...
And follow it religiously. Every item on the list needs to be actually seen, checked off and stored. My list is three (3) pages long. Enclosed is an example of an old one I have used in the past.
