Hybrid style aluminium bikes such as the Trek FX are perfectly OK for touring, loaded or credit card style.
Aluminium is used to build specialist touring bikes by Cannondale and Koga Miyata.
Trek hybrid frames are medium weight so there is enough metal to be strong enough for supporting a full load. Your bike is perfectly OK , load it up and ride.
