Whether I'm carrying a revolver or a semi-auto pistol, I always carry a reload (speed loader, speed strip, full-moon clip or magazine, as applicable).
As I no longer own anything that might be remotely construed as "high-cap" (a 1911 is the highest-capacity pistol I own) some will say that one reload is woefully inadequate....and they may be right.
That said, I don't see any downside to carrying a reload, whether to use as a clearance/failure remedy or as a true reload.
Now as far as carrying any more ammo, I have a hard time envisioning a scenario (especially a multi-BG scenario) where I have expended all of my ammo without some sort of resolution (and realistically, it probably won't be a good one). I do not honestly expect to out-gun three or four BGs single-handedly...sounds like fantasy to me.
Just my .02 worth...
