Two other notes.
Since you're not going to change human nature and a certain percentage of people are going to continue to take their bags, that should be factored into the timed escape simulations. Ultimately, making it as fast and easy as possible to grab your bag might save more time than trying to prevent it.
And, if passenger arrives at the slide carrying a substantially sized bag, someone needs to grab that bag away from them and pitch it off to the side, rather than allowing it down the slide. If passenger wants to go retrieve it after they go down the slide, that's on them.
