Wife has a 2015 r design d4 and didn’t realise there was no spare (just the foam) until the other day and I think I would be more confident in a spare/Jack etc.

You can of course fit a 17 inch alloy and tyre in the boot, as you would need to do after a puncture to take it for repair, but not in the spare wheel "well".
If you want to retain a flat boot floor, the only way is to fit the spacesaver spare and high level load floor. I actually like the high level floor. You can still fit small items beneath the upper floor around the spare, and it has the added benefit that if you fold the rear seats down, the boot floor and seat backs are all one level.
You do lose a small amount of general boot space, but anyone who needed a large boot probably wouldn't have bought a V40 in the first place ;-)
I suspect a new 5th alloy and tyre would probably cost as much as the spacesaver, toolkit and high level floor, if not more?
