I have recently switched to tubeless a while ago, and after some bad time with default Giant tires I bought GP5000s and was pretty happy with them for almost 1500km until I got the quite large puncture you can see on the photo. Sealant did not seal it, bacon strips did not work. Now I'm trying to decide, what can I do with that and is it repairable, and if yes, what would be the best way to do it, will the simple patch be enough or I have to do something more serious.
Not that experienced with tubeless, do asking for advice.
Added 2 photos from outside and 1 from the inside.

Dyneema fishing line, needle for leather repair.
Automotive patch from inside.
Done.
Hate to say it but- get a new tire. You could maybe patch it but that cut is not something I’d be messing with, especially on a tubeless system, and definitely not on any kind of road bike. I’d spend the extra money to replace it, a patch wouldn’t feel safe.
I have same tires as yours with exact hole, put bacon and squished it. Then dabbed with rubber epoxy. Fixed. Rolled over a year now.
