I would also pull the very front of the rack up with rope attached to the intersection of top tube and head tube and press the bag onto the head tube to minimize the effect of the load...
Sure, basically the eBike accessory with professionally macguyvered mounting braces. you'll wind up adding a mass of metal to support up to 4kg.
there are other simpler, lighter options.
a small buttpack, a tiny frame pack to fit the rear triangle between the seattube and the chainstays, a small bag that velcroes above the top tube behind the head tube, small dual-pouch mini-saddlebags that fit over the front of the top tube and won't interfere with a main triangle bag. all these options are available, inexpensive, functional, and much less weight.

these brake mount bike front racks are lightweight, can carry up to 10kg. will need to contact macguyver, of course...
