I have few thoughts about bikepacking on recumbent bike.
Because of the weight distribution I don't see any difference in the ridability and handling. The issue with flexing bike when loaded with bags isn't noticeable when riding only when you need to push it.
But the hills are killing me it isn't ideal without the bags but with them it is brutal.

See, I knew you could get there.
Now, I'm gonna have you go up to where the parent commentator discussed the importance of "force" and the use of arms on an upright bike, and reply your "power" comment to them, not me. I was directly rebutting their "force" arguments; I made no claims regarding "power" for you to rebut. Your criticism is wasted here. But, your insight would be valuable in the context of their argument.
