Do you have a problem of touching the rear bags by your heel?

Hell ya! Have fun! Make mental notes of what worked and what didn’t work for you and make changes in the future as you see fit

Tent isn’t going to work. Repack it in a different bag so it fits your bar top width.
You lose the drops and tops. All you have is the hoods. And I get most drop bar riders spend 95% of their miles on the hoods but at that point flat bars start to make more sense since you only have one hand position and less front space for bags.

Can you put the tent poles on the rear rack and get a smaller bag for the front?

I hope that the orange bag is not heavy. Try to put as little weight there as possible

Personal preference:
I don’t like that much weight over the rear wheel.
Would much rather use a frame bag and keep weight inline and low.

I prefer to distribute the weight with four panniers (4x 12.5l.), and I carry the tent in a rack pack on the back. I carry the handlebars free except for the front bag, and the weight on the front, most of the time. The rear wheel suffers a lot if all the weight is loaded on it. Take advantage of the fact that you have a fork with mounting thread and mount a tare tube or similar.
