I have a 2019 Domane SL5 disc. Do you (or does anyone) have information on how heavy the stock wheels and tires are? I failed in my attempts to find out.

I wasn’t expecting it to be sub-18 lbs. I just wasn’t expecting it to be over 21 lbs.

I wouldn't be confident with that stem long term. If if fails, you're going down. I know adjustable stems are reliable, but they're not meant to have any give. Will the mechanism wear out over time, and will you know if it does? I like my teeth too much for that.
It could be perfectly reliable, I'm not trying to disparage it. I'm explaining why a person might go for a different option even when this exists.

Didn't two decades of work in Oakley factory QC teach you anything?

Sure. I'm just saying to keep in mind that it's not sporting wheels, tires or tubes that'll see many/any miles for a lot of people, so there's probably 2 quick pounds to be lost.

The SL5 has Bontrager Affinity wheels without the "Elite" designation. I haven't found good info on the weight of these wheels.
Looking at the rest of the SL5 spec, it seems like it can only be wheels, tires, and cockpit, for the most part. 105 R7000 components surely don't weigh that much more than R8000 Ultegra, and the SL frame is only 100 grams heavier than the SLR frame, I believe.

I did think the ride was very nice, though I have a steel road bike that is 21.5 pounds, and the weight felt about the same to cart around. But that bike has 25 mm tires and some seriously lightweight stuff.

Yeah I think the SL5 made me realize I think I value weight and aero more than comfort (although I reserve the right to change my mind once they get an SLR version available to ride).
One of the guys at the LBS and I were talking and when I talked about what I wanted in my next bike (I have a 2018 SuperSix Evo Di2 right now) was a combo of lightweight and aero, he was recommended I look at Pinarello. I only know of their stellar reputation and high prices, so my wallet cried. Luckily I'm about 12-18 months away from my next purchase.

To be fair, I don't think he was saying they were lightweight like a climbing bike, just that they had a nice combo of weight and aero.
Again, I have no experience with them (other than seeing their price tags) so whenever I feel the need for a new ride, I'll definitely test them out and make my own judgment.

Thanx! To your question, and I have no first hand knowledge on this other than watching the YouTube videos the guys from GCN provide, but there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Shimano 11-speed mechanical groupsets now other than weight. Since my last two bikes were SRAM equiped, (Apex & Rival) I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Now I did briefly toy with the idea of ordering the SL 7 eTap Domane after taking a quick spin on an SL 7 Emonda eTap equiped bike but that would have set me back another 3 grand, plus I could get it in any color I wanted as long as it was black. 
It's amazing the thought process we go through to rationalize a new bike. 
No new pictures unfortunately since a freaking thunderstorm arrived at my house the same time I did last night.

Saw this bike yesterday in person yesterday and did a test ride over asphalt, much of it broken, and was favorably impressed. Handled the bumps better than my current carbon road bike (which is to small) but was also slower...which kind of surprised me. Then again, the test ride was in jeans and tennis shoes using flats.
Of course, this was stock everything but wondering if with time you have additional insights and pictures to share as intended? Was the tire upgrade worth it? How does that paint job hold out in gravel?

This question may not seem important to most, but I always ride with a top tube bag for easy access to nutrition and my phone. It appears in the posted photos that the cabling will not work with a top tube bag. If not, then the bike is disappointingly not going to work for me. Haven't seen one in person yet and am hoping for a response from a current owner or someone who has checked out the bike for top tube bag use.
If it doesn't allow for top tube bag, it seems like a stupid decision for Trek. After all, it's an "endurance" bike and I carry a lot on my long self supported rides. Thanks in advance for any comments.

Why wouldn't it work with a Top Tube bag? Last time I checked, almost all of them are soft with the exception of the TT bento boxes (the open ones). It looks easy enough to route the straps under the cables. It also seems easy enough to try this at the bike store to see which fits the best. If that doesn't work, there are some small frame bags they are great - Shimano Pro Discovery and Apidura Racing 2.5. You can also just mount your toptube bag toward the seat post.
