You can just get two Swifts (your computer IS a Shearwater, right?) and a Peregrine AI or a NERD 2 or a Perdix 2 for the other wrist and never worry about even having an SPG in the boat bag.
SPG or not

For any sort of recreational diving, buddy or solo, just pick one or the other.
SPGs rarely have a hard failure, they may leak and bubble or fizz, the case might flood and fill with water, might not be dead on accurate throughout the pressure range but it is unusual for an SPG to just up and quit without plenty of warning, they just keep working. You may need to replace a SPG before the next dive but usually the SPG will get you to the dives completion and maybe the rest of the day. Cannot say the same for AI. However, AI has reached a point of maturity such that objections to AI only are mostly rooted in paranoia, what if scenarios that never happen and lack of familiarity. One or the other is good enough for who and what they are meant for.

"Inevitably," I rather doubt.
We were also once told to back valves off a turn and a lot of other nonsense.
The lens is either plexiglass or tempered glass and there is a blow out plug in the case. I do not think we need to fabricate reasons to switch to an AI computer.

A fun read. If you still have all your fingers.
