Is there any major reason I would regret getting the EF lenses?

If you buy used I can't see there being a downside; if you subsequently re-think a purchase you'll probably be able to sell it on at minimal loss, and with so many reviews available for the EF range there shouldn't be any doubt about what you're getting (so long as it's in good condition).

That said, it may be that going RF would bring additional upsides that you'd appreciate - beyond any differences in optical characteristics that is. For example, I've yet to see a review that looks into the special "high speed display" option for the EVF (I think that's what it's called in the menu) that is only available when using an RF lens. It's possible that the upcoming bodies will offer more bells and whistles that are RF-only.
