This was a fun read, and I appreciate that you see both sides of it. I took most of your writing as being tongue-in-cheek, especially considering what happened to Boromir.
It doesn't beat the "escalating absurdities" argument put forth earlier.
I was thinking that Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime could maybe carry a single full barrel, if we created a leather and rope contraption that distributed the weight through his entire body. He would likely not be able to fight effectively that way (disadvantage to attack rolls), tire easily (1 level of exhaustion per day), and climbing ladders would not be possible, stealth would not be possible either.
The Nautaloid tanks alone look like half-kegs and would be a little easier to carry but still unwieldy strapped to your back. Again though I am fine with the current limitations.
Right now some people are cheesing past the current restrictions with the "Send to Camp" feature and the magic ability to move items from 1 inventory to another regardless of distance. I imagine this will get fixed at some point. So who cares.
Still, better than it was a month ago.
