What you basically miss out on is silver, copper, and vendor weapons/armor trash (e.g. bronze weapons/armor, rawhide, fine steel) - not really huge cash cows. You'll make a decent amount of money from gems and research materials, and each of them only weigh 0.1 each. Pick up some low-weight bags too - large bags come to mind (6 large slots, 1 weight each) or maybe even some wrist pouches (4 tiny (or maybe small?) slots, something like 0.4 weight each).
I'd add that if you plan on tailoring, you can make bags at very low skill that are slightly lighter than regular bags and give you 10% weight reduction. Low quality pelts and the small number of spiderling silks required are very easy to come by, especially starting in Freeport.

My Iksar monk is working on tailoring skills and plans to make a few Tailored Large Belt Pouch as part of the skill-up process. Let me know if you want any. The Tailored Large Bag might be nice because it holds bigger items but requires bear skins which would be hard to get right now.
