But would take a bivvy instead of a tent and ditch the camping stove which I barely used.
That is precisely the mindset I am going back with this year. Bivvy instead of tent, cooking gear simplified to only 125g gas canister, MSR pocket rocket and 1 titanium mug every 2 people to boil some water for that bag of adventure food we will have, just in case we decide/have to stop somewhere without anything around.

I think I might have carried my emergency camping food from the start to the end without touching it - too easy just to get/make takeaway sandwiches (Unless you're vegan I suppose) or stop for nice meals & then just have a bunch of emergency energy bars.
Plus availability of cheap espressos everywhere meant I barely even made myself hot drinks when camping.

I mostly stayed in proper beds/rifugios, but I think I'd happily carry the extra camping weight again for the couple of bits of mountain top camping I did.

Anyway, regardless of weight/equipment, just do it. As long as you've got low gears then no reason to rush the climbing.
