I have to side with OP here. Yours pluses are really worth it only if you need quality 98% of the people here won't ever need (OK, 1-3 pictures printed as bigger canvas in next 10 years, but still). Most people today see pics on phones only. Even those done by pros in studios. The rest is mostly tablet/notebook screen. 1% (like me) something bigger. On that level, I can do almost/completely same pics as you with my Samsung S22 Ultra for those portraits (not sports part, but if its for family, videos usually trump photos for target audience). Minuses are staggering - the amount of money, time invested, annoyance to shooter and subjects, the speed with which you can capture most moments in life. If I understood you correctly, you're pro/semi-pro. That's not the topic here, its everybody else snapping pics. As long term full frame shooter, for last 2 weeks, its almost dead platform for me. I'll consider to take it for longer vacations, but I expect it to come out of bag very rarely.
