No tubeless, no bar bag, rim brakes... and mechanical everything!
Road bikes are still 10-spd mechanical with rim brakes. I have some carbon tubulars for racing. I sold my 3x9 mtb (set up tubless) and my canti-brake cross bike this year. I bought a Salsa Warbird gravel bike with mechanical disc brakes. I think I can set it up tubeless, but it's got tubes for now. It also has a billion mounting bolts for bags and cages, but I haven't ridden far enough on it yet to really need them.
Really, use whatever you need to do your ride. If you need 25 bags and a camelback, do it. If one bottle is all you need, that's fine too. I generally remove all bags for crits. I sometimes leave a saddle bag on in a RR, in case I flat and there's no wheel truck - or I'm behind it.
