Sounds like the issues from X1 Carbon 6th gen where the only available standby was always-on-standby (Windows-only thing): some patching of ACPI tables has helped with that, though Lenovo has since updated the BIOS and restored the usual S3 standby. 7th gen worked out of the box, but I am not sure if that matches t490 or t14 generation (or maybe even t480).

The biggest worry for me is putting it in a backpack and the battery causing a fire.

This drain with the T14 was with regular S3 sleep (sleep mode option changed from Windows to Linux in the firmware setup).
