Another data point. I did a long tour with Tubus Cosmo/Nova racks and Ortlieb panniers(Bikepacker Plus/Sportpacker Plus), and I had no problems. After I got home, I was riding my bike with the racks still on it, and I took a shortcut up on the sidewalk, As I was rounding a sharp corner I reached down to ring my new bell to warn any pedestrians, and I ended up riding off the curb (into oncoming traffic). I leaned my bike heavily trying to avoid going off the curb, and as such when I went off the curb, I fell over onto the curb. Luckily, the racks and my body saved the bike from any damage. The rear Cosmo rack was slightly bent, but not broken or cracked.
