I continue to use my Canon dslrs for about 75% of my photography. The 5DSR, with Canon EF lenses, is working fine for me at this time.I bought another 5DSR last month.
BUT..I did go mirrorless last year with a Fuji GFX100sii MF. That is medium format and another subject.
Canon has not shown me a mirrorless body (FF) worth my interest at this time.
Images posted here by members shooting with the new Canon mirrorless bodies are excellent in all IQ respects. I have that old "Tim Taylor- the Toolman" mentality that "more", in this case pixels and the info it can pack into 1 pixel, is better ....or "as good".
Other manufacturers do have some very fine mirrorless bodies! But I do not want to switch to another brand when my EF lenses are working just fine for over 25 years. The progression of the FF dslrs then to the 5DSR now was excellent imho.
Just my $.02 And Jim above^^^^^^^ I agree with 100%.

addendum...I am NOT a full time photographer, I don't mean 8 hours a day...just out shooting when an idea, or lack thereof, hits me, despite me being retired. Life has dictated other circumstances beyond my control/ That factors into any camera, equipment decision that I make. If I was out and about 75-80% of my free time I might think differently also.
I have a 1Dx and it is most excellent also. I have a 90D APS-C senor for my macro work.
I also will add, I have "hand tremors" that can get very difficult when totting a huge zoom lens. "IS" in the lens is a MUST and is better if body has IBIS and both.
The Fuji GFX has IBIS and it is fantastic! No shake on image file at all even down to 1/2 second.
