It's possible but not ideal. Aero gravel bikes have minimal mounting points (typically 4-8), limited tire clearance (35-42mm), and short chainstays that restrict frame bag space. You can do supported events or lightweight overnight trips with a saddle bag and handlebar roll, but self-supported multi-day touring with full bikepacking kit is better served by adventure or bikepacking-specific gravel bikes with more mounts and wider tire clearance.
