I get the inclination to go micro, I really do. I also get the principle of speed = safety.

I think a universal principle is the bag goes with one everywhere on the vessel.

For some, this principle may sound great while at home with a glass of carménère in hand but then shift to tedious tomorrow morning while dealing with congested traffic on the way to work.

I'll admit I'm a bit of a strange bird having trained and operated for almost three decades with an evac bag (far more robust than the one I listed above).

For those that want more than a micro bag but think my size bag is too large, a possible compromise is a waterproof fanny pack. This makes life a lot easier for carrying what you deem are YOUR essentials for an isolation event.
 
the above would give me confidence to face four to five days adrift.

If you want to survive four or five days adrift you will need thermal protection even in a warm water ocean. Hypothermia will get you long before starvation.
 
My understanding is the fortunate ones tend to leave only with the bag between their legs
