If I’ve a base when I am travelling and have a predictable route then — I’ll carry my cabin carry size Samsonite trolley bag (an ultra light/thin Decathon day back in it) and I’m not keeping anything on back and shoulders, my “very useful so far” Osprey FP 40 be damned. Period. No matter how “life changing” the backpack is it’s no fun on the shoulders and back. I learnt that this works for me.

You might want to stop reading or listening at that point in most cases. Besides there’s no one way to backpacking, it takes a long time and hit and trials to know what works for you and also important what options you have in your region.
e.g this bag OP mentioned - Hynes Eagle Travel Backpack 40L - gave me shoulder and back pain by just looking at it, but I’m pretty sure it works for OP.
