Is a statement such as the following acceptable for weight and balance
calculations for flying?

"As long as the maximum baggage weight of XX lbs and gross weight of
xxxx lbs is not exceeded, the aircraft will be in balance"

NO! You need the CG of the airplane to be within a certain range of
distances of Mean Aerodynamic Chord. The above statement gives no
quantitave information as to where that CG is.
