I mean, I quite regularly go bikepacking in Europe, and while, yes, there's generally a bike shop somewhere, it might be a couple of hours' ride away, and I don't really want anything to fail to the extent that I can't ride the bike as that couple of hours' ride is probably too far to walk.
I've been using the SQR system, which lifts the bag enough to stop it touching the rear fender on my bikes, and generally doesn't sway too much. I do have to mount my rear dynamo light down on one of the stays so that it's still visible, though, and generally have another light on the bag itself.
