Lots of new cameras in the pipe

Maybe Canon will make this decision easy for you. I'd suggest holding out and continuing to save up. While the R (or RP for that matter) would work, neither would be terribly good in comparison to the R6/R5. However, I'd be willing to bet an R replacement would be a solid autofocuser that could sit very well in the line up as a option (although I'd expect the overall speed to be lower than an R5/R6). Additionally, why the 100-400 RF isn't the best option in the stable, its also not a terrible one either. I'd bet, you might even get another option in the affordable super tele range.

IMO, continue shooting compromised for now and wait for the product that meets your needs. It would hurt to spend your entire camera fund and then still not have what you want. And honestly, I feel like a Rebel will be fine for the subjects you're looking at for the opportunity, but for that matter I'd say an R would be too. However, I'd still say wait because there's very likely a better option is close to release.
