Actually, as I explained on here the other day, that I am a pannier man, but if you want to carry more, in bags other than the obligatory bikepacking bags, you can also have 2 top tube bags, one at the front attached to the steering tube, one at the back, at the seat tube( their are various sizes), 2 X feed bags, a handle bar bag, or if you have a front rack, with a flat top, a rack bag as well, and these extra bags, may well just be enough for your gear, and you can do it cheaply thru Amazon or ebay, which is what I did.
