RP autofocus vs R10/R7

Is the AF performance of the EOS RP sufficient for taking photos of young kids moving around?  Reviews say that the tracking AF is good, but it's clearly not up to the level of the new R7 and R10, or even the Fuji cameras that I previously owned.  Can I get decent results with the kit lens?

There's a lot that I like about the RP, and for action shots of my grandkids Im just as likely to pull out my phone to be honest.   But I would like to be able to use eye detect AF now and then with moving subjects, and my experience so far has not been good.

I'm looking to keep the initial cost for a kit under $2,000.   RP with the kit lens and the 50/1.8, or R10 with 18-150 and 35mm/1.8.
