I tried one for a while... It turned out to be a bit dangerous...
YOu can set a camera bag down if your back is aching... , easier to
find things (too many pockets problematical) at first I loved mine
but it wasnt long before I went back to tamron bag with a shoulder strap
and waist band. It worked as a head rest too.

I don't know if it is considered too nerdy these days, but the thought
of a lightweight photographer's vest with pockets still seems a decent
solution for storing a few primes, a blower/and or lenspen and
assorted necessary items.

I've never had a problem with primes, although I prefer to carry two.
Most of my photos now are with the 31mm limited.
If the framing isn't right, I crop in Lightroom.

Picking a single prime lens camera is, I find, a useful exercise in
lack of distractions. I prefer it to the zooms.
One day of my Alaska cruise, I spent two hours walking around Victoria
with the FA 100mm/2.8 WR macro. I enjoyed it, but it required a very
different frame of mind -- accepting the shots I could take with it
rather than seeing something and trying to make it work with good
framing. Overall I definitely prefer zooms. (And it really only worked
for me because I went out primarily with the intention of hunting
flowers. I absolutely would have been frustrated with going a whole trip
prime.)

I've checked out all the more recent suggestions. The Leica, and even
the Sony, are not in my budget. The Nikon's in the ballpark, but I
think the quote from Godfrey above tipped me over into the current
mindset: the *ist DS with a single prime. I have an an A 50/1.7 and an
A 28/2.8. It will be a trade-off between the speed of the 50 and the
wider angle of the 28. And John Sessom's suggestion, I think I'll look
to Op-Tech for my solution for carrying the camera, in part because it
will be inexpensive, in part because it comes reasonably close what I
think I need/want.
You could easily do sort-of both; IIRC you have someone to cart your full
baggage around, so bring both lenses and choose one each day (possibly
even just swapping off strictly).
