Last hitch rack question, I promise

l know that cars differ regarding the location of rear backup cameras. I plan to have a hitch installed and will either get a hanging or a tray hitch rack. I have bikes with and without fenders so a rack touching the frame is inevitable. I know the feelings of many regarding this, so please just address my question.

I expect to leave the rack on the car most, if not all, of the time and I know that the rear camera view will be largely blocked when bikes are mounted, however; when the racks are folded, do you find that the rear backup cameras are still blocked to the point of being rendered useless?

On my car, a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, the placement of the rear braking sensors don't look like theyll be blocked, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you.
