So my dog ran by with a stick and managed to put a 1/16 inch or so hole in my eno double nest. I saw there's a repair kit for a few bucks. Is this worth a shot or is this an opportunity yo try out a lighter hammock from one of the cottage vendors?

It's always a good time to try something new. You could still use the patch kit and keep it as a backup or second hammock for friends!

Just ordered the patch from rei and will give it a try. Maybe I'll leave that one in the trunk of my car just in case.
If the hole is close to the edge where there is not much weight applied a simple patch should work well
but if it's closer to the center of the hammock where your weight is being supported I would not trust a simple patch to support my weight.

or double it as UQ protector since you don't apply load to it
Unfortunately, the hole is near one of the ends in theiddle. Modifying it to make a uq protector is actually a really neat idea.
I've had good luck with Gear Aid patches on things like stuff sacks and tents... not weight bearing items, but they are very strong from what I've seen.
I used Tear-Air Type-A, on my WB Ridgerunner (at Brandon's recommendation) and so far, has worked great.
If it were me I would use one of the listed patches or some similar rip stop and then use my thread injector and reinforce it appropriately.
