Would you repair this?

Wifey picked up a trophy on the mean streets of Mexico City. Tire is a Toyo Open Country RT Trail with about 85% tread left (~13mm remaining). I'm sure there are shops here who could and would repair this, but do you think it's worth the risk? I've never plugged one this big, but a plug and internal patch might be ok (?). The hole was made by a 5/16 bolt.

Yup, plug & patch
 
totally doable, clean it well
 
not a problem IME. Have a look at the vids on YT of Pakistani tire whizzes fixing godawful mangled tire carcasses, will make you feel much better about this little blip!
