I can fit everything i need for a 200km ride in my jersey (and that includes some money for a short pit stop to buy something to eat). Dont see the need to burden myself with a backpack. I dont like wearing or carrying backpacks and more so in my riding position - which is fairly aggressive.
If I was doing "epic gravel rides", I would probably stuff food, etc into a larger seat bag or bento box or something. Still wouldnt wear a backpack. YMMV.
