I have just replaced my EF 24-70 II with the RF version. I completely agree with all of your points.

The only difference is that I use it on the EOS R and the stabilization is a gamechanger for me, since I don't plan to replace the camera body anytime soon.

Otherwise it's a marginal improvement at best. I opted to upgrade since the aperture module on my EF version broke. Damaged ribbon cable, giving Err 01. From what I saw online, it's not that uncommon.

I hope the RF will last me longer. The 24-70 may be the most boring lens I own, but I use it 90% of the time.

I do not think anybody can reasonably depreciate RF lenses, but they are designed for more demanding sensors (R5 or R) than less demanding such as R6.
