Has anyone put d-rings or other tie-downs inside the bulkheaded storage
areas in a sea kayak, for the purpose of preventing gear from shifting
during leaning or rolling?

I fill up most of the excess space with drybags but can still hear water
bottles, first aid kit, etc., shift at times.

Why not inflate a flotation bag on top of your gear? If you don't have room
for a flotation bag, your gear probably can't to shift enough to affect your
trim in any event.
