When I go on a long trip, I carry some of those parts spares in a bag in the trunk given that my 740 is 22 years old with 225k miles. In the bag is a set of relays, ignition amplifier, and an engine ECU. I think the showstoppers in your case might be the RSR and fuel pump relays, both of which will shut you down on failure. I would consider as well buying used ignition and fuel injection ECUs (match the part numbers) and some of the other parts to hold as spares. Most of them, except for the ignition electricals, will slow but not stop you. For example, a failing TPS will cause weird idle but you can still drive the car. Ditto with the idle air control valve and oxygen sensor. Replace them when you have cash and time on hand given the age of the car.
