I remember Surly having a warning about kickstands on bikes that weren't built with them in mind. Also, for the traditional kickstand arrangement, you need to be lucky to be able to dig through a pannier without the whole thing toppling over.
My previous daily driver was a cargo bike where the kids could climb on it like a playground and it wouldn't fall over. I'm definitely missing it on my current bike and I'm thinking about a clickstand kind of thing.
