I found a nice compromise in Fuji's crop system. The cameras are about as small as can be while still retaining reasonable handling (having tons of mechanical knobs helps). My experience was that outside of some extreme special cases I don't want to make use of the large apertures enabled by full frame, the depth of field is just too small. And if you don't need that light gathering capability you can get smaller lenses. It's pretty nice being able to fit camera with a normal zoom, tele-zoom, wide pancake and normal prime into a 3L sling bag. Regarding processing vs. RAW, all images are processed, there really is no such thing as a "true" photo. If the on device processed photo looks good then life is so much easier. If you can't trust the device processing or want to tweak the last millimetre out of the photo, even Apple devices can give you the RAW sensor data these days.
