It depends.

If I were humping a large full-framed ruck for more than an hour, I would take it off and put it in/on the ruck.

For an assault pack , I might take it off, depending on how it rode, and if I were humping the ruck, or just carrying it casually. If I took it off, I would put the bladder inside the ruck.

For driving in a vehicle with padded seats, unless it is absolutely full, I think it is okay. On a vehicle with hard seats, I would have to look at the length of the discomfort.

HTH.
