I used that exact thingamyjig for a 5 day road tour in the alps a couple of years ago. Left our luggage in a hotel in Annecy and went for it, my mates just used small rucksacks but I had one of those. I travelled very light, maybe 4kg all in. It worked fine - marginally heavier than a rucky but cool back a bonus when when your slogging up the Col d'Iseran in the baking heat.
I just took a toothbrush, very lightweight clothes for the evenings, flip flops (32H ha ha ha), wallet phone and tools. We stayed in cheap hotels.
It was ace.
