I know it's deeply uncool, but I have a small saddle bag that works well for me. Attaches directly to the rails, so doesn't touch the dropper post at all, is just big enough to hold a tube, multitool, plug kit and tire lever, and small enough that it doesn't buzz the tire with the seat all the way down (on my setup anyway). Big bottle and pump on the frame, extra water (here in the desert, one bottle doesn't cut it for most rides), phone, snacks, etc. in a hip pack. Backpack for big rides only, when I need a lot of water.
