Tubeless plugs to fix tubular?

Can you use tubeless plugs to fix tubular tires (CX size... So low pressure)? (Just to get home)

Thoughts?

Once the inner tube is flat, if you stuck the plug through the hole in the tire, it wouldn't also patch the hole in the tube.

Personally, I find Tufo Extreme to work exceptionally well.

I've heard of folks opening up the sewup and patching the tube. Then resew it back together....talk about a labor of love.
