No heal clearance problems.

No p-clamps, they mount to the axle (or braze-ons) and brake mount.

Light loads don't have enough of an effect on handling to bother me, particularly with 28mm tires.

Your bike will likely be just fine. They're mostly designed to handle your average North American Fred, so a little bag will be fine.

If people think you look foolish, and you're enjoying your ride and not risking anyone else's safety, then they're the fools. I personally would choose the funnest/fastest bike for that long of a commute.
