I started riding with bikepacking bags last year, but then did a 180 away from fancy bags that are hard to pack and access and went to a rack, panniers, and a drybag. I can carry a ton of unnecessary stuff this way and I find it affects the bike handling less. I especially didn't like how weight on my handlebars felt.
