Personally, I would ditch the CO2 if tubeless and replace with a chain tool and extra quick links. Only other items would be some type of nitrile glove (or similar) and maybe a few zip ties.
This is almost exactly my kit down to the bends and colors. Except I only use one tire lever. I have a quick link inside the neoprene case for the mini 9
Alcohol wipes and/or 2 cheapo surgical gloves.
do you really need 2 tire levels?
Is the valve adapter Schrader to Presta? You know you can make in a pinch using the Presta dust cover…
If you have TPU tubes with plastic valves which I think those are, I don’t think CO2 is to be used so you could drop that. As for the mini pump, I just carry in my jersey. It bay also be worth carrying the TPU in a protective pouch like an eyeglass holder to prevent it from getting damaged.
I’ve had tubes in my saddle bag fail from the vibrations before. Pulled the tube out and found a hole wore through the tube, might be worth putting something over it to protect it, like a plastic bag or sleeve of some kind.
