My wife does not pack light either. She loves giant suitcases. It is always an argument that I rather bring four carry on size suitcases so I can manhandle them up the many stairs in Europe. Instead of two jumbo suitcases.
It is her chance to dress up. She packs ten different outfits…
I can handle the FrecciaRossa and SNAV with all that the luggage. Can’t do it on local bus or train. I was pleasantly surprised by Rome’s buses. Now I tap my credit card. No more having to go to a local shop to buy a ticket or pay by cash.
However, it’s not that much. Two weeks in one carryon is tight for me; she has trouble doing a weekend in one, and that doesn’t include hanging clothes.
I’ve done it with one luggage and one small backpack each, with no discomfort. If it’s a single warm-ish climate it can even be done with one backpack.

That's still a fair bit of luggage, however subdivided. Can't always be avoided but still hard to navigate on trains, etc.

You have never met my wife.

Well, what do you carry for two weeks and two people across variant climates? I will be impressed if you can do it in one each.

The key is to plan on washing clothes.
Washing is not always nor easily available.
Pack two weeks in one carryon. No washing.
