There is a fine line here, and it will vary with the individual, their tastes, and their requirements.
Basically, you have a point where you reach is the max size an individual is willing to voluntarily hump around 24/7.
That is why an aid bag or E&E bag might be in the trunk of a car instead of with the individual when he needs it.
If you want to hump a three day or an assault pack, there are plenty of options.
If all you want is a fanny pack, that is an option too.
I guess you need to make a list of everything you think you need to have, look at the carriers that would hold it, and either buy a configured carrier that you like, or purge your list till you can reconcile the two variables with something that holds your absolute necessities, but is not overly inconvenient. I suspect that might take some trial and error or wearing to determine.
IMHO, if you start getting up to the size of those bags, or adding rifle mags, you are beyond survival and into the E&E bag or assault pack load.
Just my .02, YMMV.
