Messy? What looks odd to me is when I see a Carradice cantilevered (bagman et cetera) out there in space with no obvious support. It's not a box, it's made of canvas and over time it will sag and adapt to whatever you put in it.
I think a rack (any rack that fits your bike) or unsupported (if the bag is small enough) is the way to carry a Carradice.
Maybe bikepacking stuff would better suit your needs.
I bought my carrasice seconds hand, think its called a college or something, a4 size. Previous owner must have put a thin rectangular piece of chip board at the bottom so that sagging isn't a thing for me.
Bikepacking saddlebags are awesome. Just not for commuting and unpacking stuff from imo.
