Have had multiple tires plugged the way you describe.

Never had them patched on the inside or balanced afterwards.
The weight of the plug cord is seemingly as much a piece of gravel caught in the tread so I am dubious it is enough to warrant balancing.

Virginia allows plugs in tread only.

If you are doing a regular tire rotation and inspection, odd wear due to an imbalance should be apparent ... if you do not feel it driving first.

After 60+ years my skepticism has only increased.
Of course the surgeon wants to do surgery.
So take an aspirin before having the brain removed for a headache.

Cost of tire ... miles left on tire ... cost of patch ... cost of tire store exercise ... the numbers do not lie.
