Hi Tim, I respond also having no first hand experience with them (aside from a mini diy corner frame bag from a military surplus gas mask bag) but my understanding is that going rackless not only saves weight but putting the heaviest items inside the main triangle won’t affect the handling as much and as you already mentioned the width issue keeping everything tucked into the frame space makes snagging gear on the trail less of an issue when off road on more technical routes. Just my observation having wondered the same thing myself.
