Once again, no levers for me. The new Hutchinson Fusion 5, Mavic Yksion and Zipp Tangente simply don’t need them on any of my rims.

After going tubeless I seem to be carrying tools in case someone else needs them :)

I'm going to limit myself purely to the tubeless related stuff, no actual tools.

Worms & tool (Genuine Inovations Tubeless Tackle Kit)
mini-pump (bottle cage mount)
1x CO2 for if the bead comes off the rim
Schrader adapter for if I need to use a gas station pump (keept Tubless Tackle Kit)
extra valve core (keept in Tubeless Tackle Kit)

I do have a pair of tire levers, but only because they also serve as an KMC link remover. I've been running road tubless for about 10 years, I can't remember the last time I actually carried a tube.

A tire boot is also a good thing to have.
Edit: Also, a valve removal tool.

I ride 10k miles a year and I use tubeless since 2009. This is the present setup that had change through the years: I may have one cut a year that make me stop, otherwise the sealant take care of thorn and small cuts.
1. A bottle of sealant (intially Stan's now cafelatex) with a core removal tool.
2. Dynaplug. This is great in one case I use two plugs in the same cut (I did not have the larger dynaplugs).
3. A razor blade or a small swiss army knive to cut the Dynaplug.
4. CO2 inflator I use the Portland Design. You can control very well the flow. The flow has to be low so you do not "coagulate" the sealant. Inially I just inflate to 50 or 60 and ride it for 20 minutes then I can add more. + 16 CO2 cartridge x 1
5. A lezine minipump
6. A valve core just in case I lose it or brake it. I have never need it.
