You will run into some commuter issues, particularly on the way to NRT in the morning. Leave plenty of time to get to Nippori. The Skyliner is rarely crowded any time.

From around 10am to 3pm, the Keihin-Tohoku line runs a rapid service which does not stop at Kanda station. Rest of the time it's fine.

I would not get off the Yamanote line at Ueno even if it was crowded. It is quite a walk from Ueno to Keisei-Ueno with bags and you are likely to end up on a route that requires navigating stairs. Ride to Nippori.
