Best roof rack and cargo accessories for a Volkswagen Atlas?

I just picked up a 2023 Atlas SEL and honestly the trunk space is okay but with the kids and the dog we are totally cramped for our trip to Moab next month. I started looking into roof racks and man it is a rabbit hole. So I was thinking about just getting the official VW base bars because they are guaranteed to fit, but then I saw a bunch of people on some other forum saying they sit way too high and look like antlers. My logic was that if they are higher up maybe they wont interfere with the panoramic sunroof but then I worry about the wind noise on the highway.

I did some digging into the Thule WingBar Evo and the Yakima JetStream because they look way sleeker. People say they are super quiet but then I read this one thread where a guy said his cargo box clamps actually scratched his sunroof because the bars were too low profile. That is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I dont want to spend $600 on racks just to crack a $2000 piece of glass. Also if I go with Thule, do I need the specific fit kit or can I just use the universal grabber things for the raised rails?

I am also trying to figure out which cargo box actually fits the length of the Atlas roof without hanging over the windshield too much or blocking the hatch from opening all the way. I looked at the Thule Motion XT XL but it seems massive. Maybe the Large is enough? We need to fit camping gear and maybe a couple pairs of skis in the winter. Budget is around a grand for everything if I can find a deal but I can go higher if it means the sunroof stays safe. I am based in Denver so I am gonna be using this thing almost every weekend once ski season starts back up.

Does anyone here have the pano roof and actually use it with a rack? I really want something that stays on year-round without whistling like crazy when I am doing 80 on the interstate. Should I stick with the chunky OEM ones for safety or is there a specific Thule/Yakima setup that definitely clears the glass...
