Also, I'm looking for a little help regarding my future with this bike.
I feel like this bike is a little undersized for me. Any recommendations for improvements towards comfort on long rides? I'm currently debating selling the bike to pick up a larger frame or looking at options to improve fit.
Dimensions:
17" Seat Tube
21" Top Tube
28" Stand over height
For reference, I have a 31" inseam.
My problems started on my first attempt at bike packing a few weeks ago. After ~80 miles the first day, my knees were experiencing too much pain. I decided I couldn't continue the next morning and bailed on the return trip.
I've really enjoyed the process of upgrading this bike so far, but I'm at a crossroads as what to do. I want to give bike packing another shot, but I don't think I'm willing to try it out with my current setup.

Do you do long rides regularly? If not, work on your fitness. Getting a longer seatpost and stem is the easiest way to make a bike fit bigger, but in the long run youre probably better off with a properly sized frame
