Yes, I set up my EZPass on my R1150RT that way (topcase) and it worked fine. It was a great setup...out of the way...out of sight...protected from weather. I tested it by riding through the attended lane with exact change in case the transponder did not work. Just as I reached the booth the gate popped up for me. You may also want to give it a test ride. This set up also worked for me in the sidecase of my R1100RS. Just to be clear, both my cases were plastic, not metal.
Don't know about panniers on an R bike, but my KTag (Kansas) works fine inside the sport panniers of my ST. Guess you can try it, worst that can happen is a license photo in the mail with a small fine. You can probably argue your way out of any fine. Worth a try, eh?
The next time I'm in the US (won't be for awhile with the COVID-19) I'll try this. I know that it does not work when in my jacket's chest pocket.

That's because you're a Knight of the Roundel! Your jacket is made of armor!
