What i worry about is thaat will running one 17 x 7 (OEM grip) and 17 x 8 (Grippy tires) in front be dangerous for highway trips back to any nearby tire repair shop?
Not at all, just stay below 55mph or whatever that is in km/h.

I’ve thought about using the goop as an alternative to the spare tire but I hear it makes an insane mess that you’ll have to deal with once you get to the tire shop.

I think spare tires are good for only 50 miles. I put 25 miles on mine so I assume I have 25 safe miles left. However this is the rule not the exception. I had a buddy blow a tire out at a track day and he drove nearly 200 miles home without a problem.
