Ha, you're on the full bouncer then.
I swapped to a hardtail when I got more into the adventure than the adrenaline. Bikepacking killed my old Orange sub 5 and I had a ride round the Brecon Beacons that was more akin to pogo sticking than mountain biking. Still miss the rear shock a bit when out for a general thrash around the woods though. Another bike needed!
Good stuff. Looks like you're most of the way to what I did on that top pic. My plastic bit is inside, but putting it outside seems a decent shout as long as you can be sure it wont move around.
