I learned a hard lesson the other day

Nope, road bike. The section of the Empire trail I live near is a marvelous freshly paved 25 mile stretch north to Hopewell Junction and beyond, remote and peaceful, and has an actual grade to it back and forth. I can wear earbuds and just hammer, if I want. But, as I realized, a little too remote.

Can a CO2 get up to 90 psi? (In 25 years of riding I've never used or had to use one.)

That One EDC thing is super cool.

I also have the kit pictured and a plastic c02 shaped thread on container for storage under the tool instead of co2. The tool is tiny and doesn’t have enough leverage for my bolt on gravel wheels but all parts of the kit are good quality.

That depends on the size of the tire and the size of the CO2 cartridge. A 16 gram CO2 cartridge can easily get 90psi on a 25mm tire and maybe on a 28mm tire.
I've seen CO2 go from 12 gram to 20 gram.

I have used several "full-size" frame pumps but changed to usually using CO2 cartridges. After a few times getting pretty fatigued pumping my 700x25 tires up to 100 psi (remember those days? ) I decided CO2 was better. If I was going to be on a longer ride with no easy access more CO2 than the two cartridges in my bag I would also have a frame pump with me. Belt and suspenders, I guess.
