Hi there!

I have at the moment a Canon 700D with the kit lens, the EF-S 10-18mm STM and the EF 35mm f/2.

I'm thinking of buying into the mirrorless system, because I have a daughter with 20 months, and I want to be able to photograph her and take some videos where I can rely on the autofocus.

I know the R7 has IBIS and better video, but I'm no birder nor do I shoot sports. Are the R/RP better options for me or are they too long on the tooth?

Have you considered the R10?

I have indeed, but Canon's cripple hammer striked again in the left out IBIS...I would like to film some clips, and that's kind of a deal breaker.

Fair comment.,Sort of knocks out the R and RP too

Unless I'm wrong, and the IS built in the lenses is sufficient...

Lens IS is sufficient depending on the lens. Older EF/EF-S lenses will have hunting focus and the IS in the lens can be too noisy for video. I have the EF-S 17-55mm and EF-S 15-85mm and both are terrible for shooting video.  Any older, or even newer, USM AF EF/EF-S lens could be the same.  Nearly all STM stabilized lenses will work well for video as would all stabilized RF lenses.
