I've been torn for similar reasons over the last few years: Should I take my camera when the phone in my pocket is good enough?
Photos I take from my Pixel are 90% there - the automatic processing is excellent. But sometimes the white balance is off or sometimes it exposes for the wrong thing. I can correct these things in lightroom but the adjustability is limited compared to files from a dedicated camera. And then there's other issues with phone cameras like a limited buffer and rapid battery drain.
Ultimately similar to the OP I've decided to not get rid of my dedicated camera. Instead, I'm consciously keeping it out and nearby so I get to it quickly when I need to.
FWIW, I'm on the m43 mirrorless system - awesome balance of portability and quality. Unfortunately companies behind these systems were struggling before phones got so much better. The current economic environment isn't helping.
