One word of caution about flat bars: you lose the ability to change hand position. This makes a big difference for me. I really don't like long rides with my hands in a single spot - a drop bar opens up some new positions and improves comfort.
Yeah, that's a concern, though I rarely move off the hoods today, and most of my bike-packing today is on a hardtail, so I don't think it'll be a problem.
