Has anyone ever used backup travel documents for TSA?

Someone in our group loses ID a lot, I have no idea why but it is what it is. We are currently waiting for this person's Real ID Driver's License replacement to show up and are leaving for Florida soon. Hopefully it will be here before trip but since we have a few trips coming up I started to wonder what else other people may have used successfully? Passport is a good one but is, of course, expired and also missing but this is expensive to deal with and can be a long wait. I read about Global Entry cards being an option and of course this is missing too but a replacement one of these is only $25 and looks quick, plus it has absolutely no other use so this would be a good backup to store safely, I just hope it is enough if needed.

I typically bring my Nexus card on domestic flights even though my driver's license is a Real ID. My passport doesn't leave the house unless I specifically need it. I fly domestically a lot more often than I drive to Canada, so losing the Nexus card wouldn't be as bad as losing a passport or DL.

Here is the list from TSA of acceptable forms of Real ID link

If by some magic they happen to still have their new Global Entry card on them by the time they get to the TSA officer, it will be fine as an ID.
