Cheapest and most easiest would be p-clips and rack/carradice/bikepacking backs for the pickenflick?

For bikepacking trips I have odgrzybianie to order bags and there Pickenflick would be fine (maybe only concern would be carbon fork when getting it into some bus on the way etc.
For commuting I don't really find it feasible, as I need to bring ironed shirts with me every few days, so I don't think it's possible to squizze then in the saddle bag without breaking the ironing effect ;)
I would also prefer to have something "less eye-catching" for commuting and leaving outside etc, Pickenflick is definitely not the most stealthy one. Not wanting to start another disc vs rims discussion, but I believe both paint job and V-brakes of Fuji would be more into this role.

Looking for a commuter bike as I miss both gears and drops in my current one (Vitus Dee SS). Pickenflick has no mudguard and rack mounts so can only bring it every few days when I don't need to carry too much, especially have a supply of shirts ready in the office, I am considering two options:
Buy a touring bike, Fuji Touring seems most available and reasonable in price here in Poland, use it for commuting and maybe for a bigger tour when time permits in the future, keep Pickenflick as road and gravel bike (I have two wheelsets for that).
Swap Pickenflick for a proper road bike, buy a bike like Genesis Vagabond and Marin Four Corners, that could both effectively serve as commuter and take care of even more difficult terrain than Pickenflick.
I cannot afford (neither in cash nor in space) to have more than two bikes for all these purposes, I also like to make my commute longer (short, on pavement it's 17 km, but I can easily make it 30 km thourgh the hilly roads in the forest or longer). The second option sounds more appaling to me, but would surely be more costly and require to sell the Pickenflick. What would you advise?
