You could get a decent 6x6 folder, something with a coupled RF.

I used an Iskra as my main & sometimes only travel camera while living in Europe. Decent sized negatives in a package that is smaller than many 35mm SLRs.

Or, something more modern like one of the Fuji 645 cameras?

For lightweight travelling a Mamiya 6 with a 50 & 75 are pretty much unbeatable, alternatively just go with the Blad and a standard lens.

The only bit of new gear I'm allowing myself on this are a carbon-fiber tripod and a good ballhead. My current tripod weighs about 7 lbs (seriously, it's a freakin beast).

A 7 lbs tripod? That's positively lightweight.
Much lighter, and you might as well not bother with a tripod at all.
