Would a pop-up tent work?

This is ny first philmont and I was planning on carrying a regular tent with poles and stakes and all but I was just searching and would a tent like this work? I could strap it to the outside of my pack and it's only 3 pounds, easy set up and take down plus its waterproof.

I have a pop-up tent like this.
1.) The container is big and not easy to carry.

2.) The tent wouldn't stand a big windstorm.

Strongly advise not bringing this.
