My tour bike has Albatross bars. Set up with top of the stem slightly above the saddle and the bars angled slightly down. This bike uses fore and aft low rider racks. Other than my corpse and a small saddle bag to store my wallet, snack, and a map, no non-bike weight above the top of the rim.
Longest tour I've done with this set up is 10 days, average 70 miles per day. Experienced no wrist pain or muscle strain. My right shoulder sometimes got a little sore, but this also happens on longer rides on my drops equipped road bike.
