I wouldn't put stuff in a backpack unless absolutely necessary.
Revelate do Joey bags and there's a downtube bag named after me from Beer Biker that's designed for tent poles but she'll do other custom stuff. There's also plenty of band-on bottle cage mounts that can allow you to put cages everywhere.
Dunno about aero, you're on an MTB, just stick a front roll on it.
Yes, there are full top tube length bags. Just have a look at Ortlieb, Revelate, Restrap and Apidura sites and you'll see many options.
On an MTB, I prefer full frame bags with tools and bladder paired with front roll for sleep kit, stem bag for batteries and nick nacks and a couple of feed bags. If I need more capacity I'll then add a Restrap Race saddle bag although I try to avoid this for dropper reasons. Hydro pack if I need it is the last thing I'll add - weight on body is the last thing I want.
