Why is it so massive? Get a handlebarbag like topeak frontloader and pack it in a drysack.
I can fit my tent, quilt and sleepingpad in the front easily

That seems like really big tent.
Maybe try to find something smaller?
Then work on packing it separately.
Most tent poles fold down small enough to by strapped under your top tube either in a bag or on the bike.
Then try to fold the tent up as small as possible.

It doesn’t look particularly comfortable and I would make sure it could t fall and run on the front tire

My tent is much smaller than yours, its a cheap naturehike from aliexpress. Its been going strong for 4 years now. I carry it on drop bar using decathlon drybag harness.

Did that for a trip, my tent was a bit smaller tho, but still pretty heavy with 2.5 kg. Wasn’t so bad.

Does that seat bag hit the rear wheel? What kind of tent is it? You have limited space on the bike to carry stuff. You may not want to hear this but I recommend front and rear [racks](https://oldmanmountain.com/product/divide-bike-rack/). If you want to use bikepacking bags go with a [rogue panda seat bag](https://roguepanda.com/products/ripsey-seat-bag), a [solid bar bag](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/routewerks/the-big-handlebar-bag), two [fork bags](https://rhinowalk.com/en-fr/collections/bike-pannier-bag/products/waterproof-fork-bag?variant=42307976888508) and two of [these](https://oldmanmountain.com/product/axle-pack-3/). That will give you an aggregate of 26 liters and everything will be pretty solid. If you need more space you can look into a frame bag.
