I had the same idea i.e. I bought an m100 after the R to use the m for travel. I did this exactly one time. Why? Because while I got great shots I was not happy with the noise in the photos and regretted I had not taken my R.
Conclusion for me: Take the best camera you have with you because the opportunity for that great shot might not return so you better have the best gear with you.

When space is limited, you have to choose between the best possible shots with a limited number of lenses and slightly worse but with a complete selection of lenses.

I have recently made the same choice this you made.  But I always miss ultra wide when I see great architecture, and I always miss a long lens when I am at a festival or a wildlife area.   Close focus is covered by the RF 35, so I don’t give that up when I just carry the R and the 24-105 and 35.   But that’s about all I can take, if I don’t want to check baggage.
