When I recently went bike packing I brought an OES MacCat Deluxe with me. Small, light, inexpensive and decent coverage. I actually was able to close off one end on a past cold night. It was tight but doable. Anything similar to that which require less stakes. WB Edge, UGQ Hanger, Backwoods day dreamer hex. Another choice is a diamond requiring only one stake.
I just sold a Warbonnet and wasn't super impressed with the ruggedness, I ordered a hanger 12 from UGQ I like it has the edge binding on it and appears a bit more rugged, I will know when I get it in hand. I think the warbonnet tarp gets a lot of overplay on this forum and there are a lot of other good choices. I bought the Warbonnet because everyone raged on here but it is just ok in my opinion functional but nothing to write home about. I also like high end custom gear and Warbonnet doesn't like to wander out of stock production mode.
I do know 11 feet was not enough coverage with a little mist blowing, switched to 12
