Just a quick note on some of the bike specific items: First, I have found that pitching a tarp using a bike can be very stable. Similar to using your trekking poles, it will be wobly at first, but with tension, it is solid. This set up has worked well for me, even in pretty windy conditions (Rocky Mountains above tree line):

I have also had good results with this set up using the Surly Krampus. Better actually since the 29+ wheels make for more space under the tarp.
If you are committed to lightening your load, you could look at dropping the racks and use bikepacking style bags instead. A frame bag and seat pack would do nicely and hopefully let you cut out at least your rear panniers. And if you are MYOG minded at all, a frame bag is relatively straightforward to make.
Regarding the gear options: I might suggest simply adding in a lightweight hammock to your ground set up (tarp, S2S net, NeoAir). I have done that a few times with my 10ft NylonD1.0 hammock. With dynaglide whoopies, Kevlar tree straps, and an ASRL, the hammock set up only adds 8oz, packs down to a grapefruit, and is quite comfy. Sleeping on the XLite isn't as comfortable for me as an UQ, but it is still nice. And, I know from experience that you can rig the S2S bug pyramids as a mediocre hammock net.
For a groundcloth, you could get a piece of polycro and cut it to about 3'x7'. This will weigh about 1.5oz and protect everything when you go to ground. If you are hanging, well you then have a nice, big, clean place to sort through gear, lay down your pack, etc.
But, if you are committed to having your BMBH as your primary shelter, then I would say give some time to trying to pitch your tarp with the frame and front wheel. I think you can get it to work, and you won't damage the bike. It does take some time to figure out and dial in though.
Hopefully that helps! Sounds like you are going to have yourself a fun tour here soon.
