Pricey, but seems like a solid, very good option. I’ve used OMM rear racks in the past, well designed, heavy duty.

There are an amazing number of products out there that do exactly this, and there are also quite plausible DIY solutions and hacks that can do the job just fine.

Can you back feed it from the main battery to heat water for coffee?

For the current type of riding I do I really don’t care for front suspension. I don’t bomb down single track and fire roads like I used to back when I was younger. IMO, I personally find it much more practical to have a rigid fork with multiple braze-ons. One reason why I swapped out the suspension fork the bike came with for a suspension corrected rigid fork.
I’m pretty sure it has to do with marketing, why almost all mountain and ‘adventure’ type bikes come with front suspension.

My opinion has been that with the common availability of suspension seat posts and suspension stems the remaining justification for suspension forks and full suspension really is only for riding janky terrain. If most or nearly all of your riding is on roads, even atrocious unpaved roads, you don't really need the extra weight, cost, and maintenance.
