Sounds like you have it covered.. As a point of reference, I moved about 100 lbs of LR by wrapping it in newspaper, bagging it in plastic bags and transported it in covered Rubbermaid containers. It stayed that way for about 15 hours. Once I refilled my tank (i saved about 20% of my original water) and everything had a chance to settle for a week, I still had my hitch hiker feather dusters, a few zoas, pods and macro. I never noticed any die off except a few pods and I never even had a noticeable ammonia spike. It worked really well for me. The only thing I moved in water was the livestock ( a few fish and corals).
