Now that I've got my new rig home & I'm looking through the owner's manual. It shows a departure angle of 32 degrees. Based on the 20" carrier I have, it appears like I may end up with a departure angle in the high teens once it's fitted. That's a definite compromise but not a whole lot worse than a long box pick-up truck would have.

Here's the carrier now fitted up. Using a tape measure & some trigonometry, I calculate a departure angle of ~17 degrees. Not bad but certainly not capable of getting into anything too rough.

Could you use a tow bar high mounted rack? And suspend the box from above instead of below
