I do this. I have a $15 frame bag in which I put food, stove, repair gear, etc. Then I pack a 20L dry bag with sleeping bag, clothes, etc. (stuff I really don't want to get wet) and strap it and my thermarest to my rear rack. Finally, I strap my tent to my handlebars (Jones H-bars). I also have a small "gas tank" bag in which I put my phone, wallet, and snacks. I keep meaning to take a photo of the packed bike but haven't remembered to yet.
EDIT: Note that while my bike is all-terrain, I haven't done any serious off-roading with this setup. Mostly dirt, gravel, and crushed stone. Also, I strap them down with these stretchy rubber belts that my wife found somewhere - like a belt you would wear to hold up your pants, but made out of rubber. I find them much more secure than bungees. Found them.
EDIT#2: I have a Surly Ogre so it has braze-ons everywhere. My water bottles go on either side of my front forks, plus one more beneath the down tube.
Not aliexpress, but I bought this $15 frame bag from Amazon, intending for it just to last me a trip or two until I decided whether bikepacking is something I really enjoy, in which case I would buy a higher-quality (and expensive) Revelate or whatever. Four years and a lot of use later, it's still in great shape.
The Large fits my size-medium Surly Ogre perfectly.
In my experience, Luna triangle bags are poorly designed. The cheap zipper supports the weight of the battery and thus fails. The rivets/eyeholes came off the first time I rode. Before I bought my bespoke Alpkit bag, I had really good luck with the Ibera triangle bag on Amazon for $15.
The Ibera frame bag is nice and dirt cheap.
