I'm not familiar with either bike or frame but it seems both are well regarded by others. Would think the touring forum could lead the way but since we're talking C&V, maybe I could suggest a few things beyond the obvious of having a proper size fit.
Disregard the weight of the frame and components... for now. Consider the length of chainstays and you WANT rack braze-ons. Clamp brackets are band-aids. Configure the proper wheels to application and then swap components to your liking (if needed).

The light in weight frame thing is useless - not important for loaded touring.

You can easily make up for it in light weight touring kit / gear, camp supplies, learn to go minimal, etc.. Factor your overall loaded weight goal and trade off with the kit to meet that number. Also, carefully consider at what some add-ons weigh, especially racks and the over-rated beastly heavy new rubberized panniers. (Some of the older ones are beautiful and light. Mostly pack everything in baggies or small trash can bags for waterproof anyways.)

Go for the fine ride and you absolutely don't want any squirrely handling under load. Have had some white knuckle descents in the mountains, tour camping with my old Fuji S12S LTD. Here I am years later and finally have built up an '87 Trek 520 Cirrus / R-531. Got out again today with it for some test miles. Don't know why I waited this long. Final overall build weight with racks, cages, fenders, panniers (early Cannondale), lighting will teeter at 34 pounds. My loaded weight (gear + bike >> not including water, camp stove fuel <<) is 50-55 lbs. Good luck and have fun!
