People do very long tours on Bike Fridays. I believe Denise Goldberg prefers her Friday for most of the riding she does. But if yours doesn't have gears as high as a normal road bike, that would be a problem. And the weight may be as well. You're probably right about the feel of the wheels.

I haven't used any crates except the one my S&S Coupled frame fits into, and that wouldn't work at all for normal bikes. When we ship bikes for people from the bike shop, we use cardboard boxes and send them UPS.
