No longer running a rear rack (long story), and if I could figure out a way to carry my lunch/snacks on the bike, I could probably get away with no longer wearing a backpack/mess bag as the temps start to climb.
Sure, I have a similar style, along with a decaleur for supporting my front bag. They're extremely common.

One thing to be aware of is that some bikes are not especially pleasant to ride with even a small amount of weight on the front. Having the weight down low helps. It's generally more an issue with high trail bikes.
