The problem with a tank bag is that it inteferes with standing on the pegs. nevertheless I carry one on long trips and I put the things inside that i may need to get and I dont want to unpack my luggage to get to, or that i dont have to get off the bike to access quickly. This includes things like:

First aid kit
revolver (when not on me)
fuel card
air compressor
slime for tubes
spare tubes
valve puller
wallet
cell phone and charger
plastic zip log bag for electronics if it rains
pressure gauge
pocket knife
sunglasses case

This is how my bike is loaded for a long trip.

The blue bag is a water proof and dust proof bag, in which are clothes, sleeping bag, spare gloves, plastic bags for my feet if my boots get wet

a tent

and the khaki bag has tools like tyre levers which dont fit in the tank bag, chain lube, chain cleaner, chain brush and any bike related stuff

I dont like panniers or boxes because I ride off road. One fall and you crack or rip a pannier, then what? Cargo net is far more versatile.
