I have not used those packs but I think you are on the right track. The belt only style packs just can't carry much. I had a believe a Jan Sport convertible pack that would expand from a lumbar pack to a conventional pack and it was a good option if bulky extra clothes were needed.

Here is an inexpensive option that looks like it would cover most of your needs. https://hornhunterpacks.com/product/typical-7-pocket-fanny-pack/ I like these more minimal fanny packs that don't have bulky side pockets that get in the way of a rifle or pistol. I don't see an option for adding pockets but bulky jackets and things could go above the pack. I like the simpler packs as too many pockets can make it harder to find stuff and then I never empty them and keep adding things until full. At the end of the season I find all sorts of things like really dry sausage, year old granola bars a stash, of dead batteries and cartridges. The Horn Hunter is inexpensive enough you could get a second larger one for winter time hunts.
