Fed up with leaky tyres so need tubes for tonight.

No 29s but lots of 27.5..

Instant death?

Will fork for an amount of time unless it's a really bulky one

I've used 26" before to get me home without issue. It just stretches a little more.

No, it'll be fine. Have you played the innertube-pump-until-it-blows game? 26ers end up like tractor tyresย  before they let go.

Always carry a presta-valved 27.5 tube with me as a spare, can be used for 26/27.5/29 wheels with presta/schrader size valve holes so covers all bases.

No problem at all.

As with Facian, I carry a spare tube in presta-valved 27.5 flavor for all eventualities.

I even temporarily ran one in a 29+ setup without issues.

Managed to put a cheapo wrong sized one once on my 29er.

Never ย really realised what people meant by ears ringing (was only in the passage with it an not near it) until ย the tube went bang.

Run wrong sized ones on my fat bike as they weigh crazy less than the proper thing.
