Is it safer for them to spend ten minutes there, changing a wheel, or
an hour and a half there, waiting for the recovery wagon?

('course, nobody but an utter ****nugget would do any of those anyway -
anybody with a quarter of a firing brain cell would limp to a safe
place to do either)

Having had a front tyre disintegrate while in lane3, it isn't much fun
trying to get over to the hard shoulder in a hurry, is there an approved
hand gesture?

Hazard warning lights and slowing down are usually a good start... and
it's a LOT more fun than sitting stationary in L3 waiting for some
photocopier salesman with brain in neutral to not notice you.
