I'm sure that there will be studies on "given a ship with 1,000,000 ton capacity, how much should be devoted to colonists and how much to gear?" There's no particular reason it should be "every colonist gets one suitcase of gear".

And bear in mind that colonies won't necessarily be started just for the sake of founding a colony. It's at least as likely that they'll be put in place to exploit a resource, eg a mining camp, and the "self sustaining" part will grow up around it.
