Those 5 minutes pass only if the chunk is loaded. So, when I die, I set the render distance to two chunks. I am not sure, if the server really loads only the two chunks around me in each direction. But if so, you can get quite near your stuff without the items despawning.

I use a minimap mod, that automatically creates a waypoint at your death point, so you can easily locate your stuff. And the time was always sufficient, if nobody else was near it.
