So many new mirror-less camera body releases since the original EOS R, but I haven't heard much when (or if) a direct successor is coming.

I don't want/need a pro body, and I don't want a crop sensor. Does Canon expect us to upgrade to the R5/R6?

For the most part, I'm mostly fine with the R, but it's auto-focus system is definitely looking quite dated.

I'm basically looking for the same R body + updated focusing system (that every other newer R-body camera seems to have), and a faster sensor readout fo a more useable silent/electronic shutter (without the banding/stretching artifacts). Everything else can pretty much stay the same.

Yeah, I could use a non pro buttoned body with a modern high resolution sensor and improved AF.  I don't need the R5's IBIS, buttons, fps, and dual card slots.

I'll likely have to get a R5 or R5mkII once my EOS R wears out.  Or it's miss rate on difficult action subjects becomes annoying. I'm not sure Canon will bother with another $2000-ish FF body like an EOS RmkII.
