I love that backpacks are morphing into vests. Welcome development IMO. Black Diamond are also making some great options like this that go up to 20l IIRC.
Been looking at packs for fast packing all day actually, including the BD Distance 8 and 15. Not sure they’re right though, but yeah, I had some vest straps on a backpacking pack and they were great. The pack was too big for me - volume wise, but otherwise it was super.
