Yes, steel plates are ridiculous in a JPC... Although 17+ pounds of plates is, IMHO, getting ridiculous in any carrier.
And yes, you're right to question this as JPC's aren't exactly great weight-bearing carriers.
*That being said*.... your total loadout of 20 pounds should be fine if you want to run a JPC with the plates you have.
Something to think about as you work this out is not *just* the plate weight- what does your *entire* load that will be going on whatever PC you choose weigh?
It's entirely possible to have super lightweight plates, and still completely overload a carrier....
