Maybe a bit ott but it's what I use at rehearsal to save taking a big heavy amp so I'm totally used to it. Also I have room in the car which makes it easier.
Spare heads don't have to be huge though, I've recently got myself a Quilter Superblock US for home practice and small gigs, but have been taking it with me as a spare head, and the speaker sim XLR out is decent enough too
It’s pretty poor as a guitar amp, so I also have a Bad Monkey pedal set to low gain that I can put after my pedal board.
If I really needed a full replacement amp (power amp and speaker) then I’d take my Peavey Studio Pro as well as my Mesa.

They aren't cheap. BUT they can plug into a cab or go direct to PA very easily and work brilliantly with pedals. I also use it for rehearsals and have done loads of gigs with it if I can't be bothered taking a full amp setup, or for multi band gigs.
I'm also using a humboldt simplifier at the moment which I've got to say I am liking a lot.
I have gigged with it when my main amp has been in repair. I am sure most of us have that one dream tone in our head that eludes us most of the time, and for sure I am not likely to find mine residing in this amp, but for a passable sound in a wedding band, the Line 6 does the job.
In the heat of battle with a packed dancefloor / full bar - the last thing I need to be doing is unplugging speaker leads at the back of amps, finding and hooking up power supplies on cramped, tiny stages and getting a back up head working.
And don't even think about diagnosing faulty tubes and replacing them after taking off tube cages, back panels!? No chance!
Which is why something like a Fender Pro Junior makes a lot of sense - apart from the ridonkulous prices these days...
