In your position I’d be looking at an R6 and an R5 rather than 2x R6

I wouldn’t see a need for a 200mm/2.8 as well as a 70-200mm f/2.8 and leaving out the prime would fund the upgrade of one R6 to the R5.

The prime is nice to carry and fits in bags easily.  The 70-200 2.8 is a terrible lens to carry around.

Of course I have no idea of your actual needs, but I do have a 5DIII and IV and their operations are close enough to be almost seamless when switch from one to the other - the MkIV touch screen being the main ergonomic difference. So I would imagine switching between the R5 and R6 would not be troublesome and you might enjoy the 45Mpx of the R5

just a thought
