I'm not sure that keeping the aux fuel containers empty completely removes the hazard unless you actually make sure they're "totally dry" empty. Gasoline fumes are extremely explosive and a few ounces of residual fuel sloshing around in the bottom of a rotopax could be exactly what is needed for the container to be at the optimal mix for an explosion.
I don't think you need to go crazy worrying about safety, but sticking those packs on the side of the engine, down near the ground at one of the "first strike" points in an accident just strikes me as ill-advised, whether they routinely used or not.
