The backpack on the rear rack will be held with voile straps and have a rubber protector against abrasion. I will also change for bigger tires with more agressive treads.
If there’s a bike weight in you’re single right side pannier, yes.

Sieht nach einem Stahlrahmen aus. Über das Gewicht würde ich mir keine Sorgen machen. Sieht stabil aus

Look, you’ll definitely encounter a problem! But not because of this setup, it looks great, it’s just that things go wrong sometimes 😅 so, if you like this setup, you should also consider how you’ll adjust if something breaks or gets out of whack.
For me it was the fact that I forgot tightening the bolts is necessary and my back pannier shook itself off 🙃

The reason to get the weight to the back is because of handling. Even if the weight is even in the front, the bike’s turning will be greatly altered with this setup, especially when descending. If you can endure pushing it with the panniers on the back, I would try to do that.
My first go I had two dry bags (smaller than those panniers) on my forks, and a handlebar bag (10L). It was so wobbly and made much worse when descending on washboard. I swapped out for pico panniers on the back, and kept the front bag lighter and it was a night and day difference from the prior setup. Just sharing my own experience.
I am assuming your frame bag has a bladder, is that right? If not where will you be storing water?
