A rackpack is a reasonable compromise. Still lots of space and quite accessible (unlike some of the bike packing saddle bags).

(that's mine stuffed with a couple of sets of extra clothes at the end of PBP.)
200: seatpack
300: seatpack or Carradice Barley (if I need to carry food to cover gaps between controls - e.g. The Elenith or The Dean)
400: Carradice Barley for summer warm 400s otherwise Rackpack
600 and more: Rackpack
However, everything does seem to be moving towards the bikepacking stuff, and it would mean losing 500g of weight of the rack too. There's no single simple answer...
