If you have a board to place between the edge of the rear tire and the bottom edge of the pannier, you should be able to eyeball what is going to touch down first.

Hopefully your peg will hit before the case.

There are a lot of pictures and videos of other bikes doing it so I wouldn't rule it out due to the camber of the road etc.

Just make sure if you are putting that much lean on it the contents of your luggage doesn't shift suddenly causing a worse problem than scraping.
