I think in that case they are unable to check in and must go back to get their stuff

They have to have a passport to check in. So that's true for that.
Anything else is optional. You can go back or leave it, usually your choice BEFORE you check in. Remember when Mark (newly paired with Mallory) left his backpack? Mallory said leave it, he refused, led directly to their early elim.
Once you check in, that's it.

Oh I think I understand now. If teams can take their belongings that are left somewhere in task location, all teams may take this advantage and we might see 11 teams running like they're in the final leg even in Leg 1. :lol:
But can they drop their bags somewhere in the vicinity of the Pit Stop mat so they get less weight while running to the Pit Stop? But assuming the infamous moment where Jonathan yelled at Victoria for carrying his backpack that he dropped on purpose while running to the Pit Stop in Berlin happened, I think they have to bring their belongings to the mat?

You can drop bags if you're in sight of the matt.

Adding in the addition with self-driving legs where you may leave your belongings in the car if there is parking available on site at the Pit Stop location (season 9's twelve-legged foot race at the wilderness resort in Darwin, Australia, season 11's Guam visit with Fort Soledad).

Ok so in an alternate world where Natalie & Nadiya find the wedding dress shop in Guangzhou earlier and aren't eliminated, who would be eliminated?
Would they eliminate Joey & Meghan as they were last to the pitstop or would Caroline & Jen be eliminated because after all the time credits were addressed they left the pitstop in last place. Surely they can't bring C & J out and say you're eliminated but it would be unfair to Joey & Meghan if they're eliminated them too due to production error. Or would they make it a non-elim with no penalty or something.

I'm pretty sure non-eliminations are settled and finalized before the race even begins. They've definitely done eliminations in the earlier seasons where they brought out the teams to go over what happened (the Heather & Eve "walk to the Pit Stop" comprehension where Eve played off arriving 1st via miracle). I would see Caroline & Jen, Joey & Meghan and Jess & John having to go through that, and ending up with Caroline & Jen eliminated because of the addressed issues from production.
It would've been better to see and acknowledge what happened because none of this season makes any sense.
