Good but not great

Re: Good but not great

What about the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4.0 eventually + EF 24mm f/2.8 IS?

After some time of enjoying travel photography I came to the conclusion I would like to have:
a) some zoom options covering at least the range of 24-150mm (but not necessary gapeless)
b) some fixed lens for shallow DoF and low light situations
c) maybe some ultra-wide angle option
d) two cameras is a plus for not losing time changing lenses and to get some redundancy
e) the kit should ideally weight under 2 kg and do not be too expensive (preferably under 2k$)

So, one can think of several lens-body combinations loosely fitting these requirements:
Canon RP + EOS-RF Adapter + Tamron 17-35 + Tamron 35-150 + EF 50/1.8 [2 kg]
Canon RP + EOS-RF Adapter + EF 24/2.8 IS + Tamron 35-150 VC + EF 50/1.8 [1.85 kg]
Canon RP + RF 35/1.8 IS + RF 24-240 [1.55 kg]
Canon RP + RF 35/1.8 IS + Nikon D5500 + Nikon 18-140mm [1.75 kg] ← my current kit
Canon RP + RF 35/1.8 IS + Nikon D5500 + Nikon 10-20/4.5-5.6 VR + Nikon AF-P 70-300/4.5-6.3 VR [1.9 kg] ← combination I want to try on my next travel
2 x light mirrorless cameras, under 500g each + 24-200mm IS + 35mm/2.0 IS + 15-24mm/4.0 IS (all in FF equivalent) ← my dream kit which does not exist yet Well, itkind of exists if consider Sony E system (Sony 18-135 + Sony 10-18/4.0 + my existing RF 35/1.8), but not quite.

And if you have a feeling, I am overthinking the whole thing, you might be right!
