Good thing on the "stout" as it seems you have quite a load there, I guess main thing is to make sure those rims can handle it all. I always suggest getting a really good wheel mechanic to go over a wheelset before a trip, totally worth spending the money on this (20-30 dollars) as having spokes tensioned properly by a knowledgeable person should mean no issues on your trip (assuming the wheelset is right for your total weight).
Worst case scenario, I can have a new wheelset built up and shipped to me from the shop I currently work at, but I will knock on wood because that would cut into my beer funds.

Here is mine. I bought the bike a couple of months ago, to cycle down the US coast, along with a couple of smaller trips in western Canada.

So far the bike has been good with me (+1500km so far). Just a few adjustments and typical maintenance.

Looks like an Abus Granit Bordo lock on the bottom of your down tube. How is that working for you? I guess nobody finds about about the security aspect any easy way! But for convenience... e.g. can you lock it to a lot more things than a regular U-lock? I like the way it packs up compactly.
It also packs very small as you mentioned, which I really like. Now I am not so sure about how much stronger it is compared to a similarly priced d-lock. But I guess any lock can be broken.
So far I haven't regretted buying it.

I recently ditched the ginormous car camping sleeping bag for a nice new Nemo Rhythm 40 degree bag given to me as a prize at the Great Gravel Gathering by the awesome dudes at Freeze Thaw Cycles and have since gotten some salsa anything cages for the fork blades.

On the Katy Trail Missuori
I didn't pull the trailer the whole way. My son and ride partner had a sore knee the end of the last day. So I pulled it for about 15 miles to give him a rest.
Here are both bikes and my son.
