Be careful of weight distribution, and do (if not already) some test rides fully loaded.

Is that a sleeping bag in the front on top? If yes, make sure that the bag around it is 100% waterproof. You don’t want to sleep in a wet sleeping bag.
Just did a 750 km bikepacking trip on Scicily Italy, was great. Now in the train to Rome and from there we bike back to the Netherlands. After some days in Rome ofcourse;)
My advice would be, relax!

By first ride do you mean this is your first bikepacking trip or your first 700km trip? Doing 700km before having done any sound scary to me 🤣, I’m doing an overnighter for my first. I see you haven’t done a test run with full kit, maybe do an overnighter a couple of days before you go as the test run? In any case, good luck hope you enjoy it.

So I hope you mean first bikepacking trip of this distance. If not you need a saddle to accommodate the balls you’re carrying 😂

Setup looks great, have fun! Remember to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. Lots of people have s roadie mentality but really, it’s the opposite.

Looks pretty ok to me! Enjoy!
