I'd say no problem at all in a coupé!...having just completed a Jaguar naked tour of France in our V8R Cabriolet.
Two of us, two up, luggage and extensive cleaning kit. It was a tight squeeze and we only managed to safely fit 4 bottles of wine in the boot to bring home!
The F-Type luggage kit is what we use. We have tried conventional soft wheelie bags used for holidays etc, and they are just not maleable enough to be 'moulded' into the small space in the cabriolet. They can be found on eGay at a reasonable price, but shipping to the states may be prohibitive.

We're planning road trips of 2 to 3 weeks in the car.

It only takes up the bottom 3" or so of the cubby. Still lots of room for other stuff on top of it. I like having the jack in the car with or without the spare so I can get the tire off for repairs and leave the car on the jack while that is happening. Not every hole can be plugged with the tire on the car.

the convertible will, surprisingly, hold a quite large duffle bag across the width. I have a huge gear bag I use for track days that holds two helmets, driving shoes, and 4 days worth of clothes (most I've tried). the bag fits edge to edge, and squishes a little when I close the trunk, but it fits. go pro case, briefcase, etc.., fit in the weird flat space under the roof.
