I've got a hybrid (Specialized Sirrus) and while I've never tried touring with it, I doubt I would try. I wear a size 13 shoe and its exceptionally difficult to find bags that I can mount on the rear rack without experiencing heel strike issues. I've got a more or less working setup now, but it is using smaller side baskets that sit higher, not what I'd want if I were going to try my hand at touring. Maybe if your feet are smaller or find one with longer chainstays but on mine, for me, it wouldn't be an ideal setup.
