One factor not mentioned by others is the psychological impact of using a large camera (with lens).

On paid shoots, clients (who paid big money to get you there) prefer to see photographers use big cameras with long lenses because psychologically, they unconsciously want to get "what their moneys worth".

If a professional photographer shows up with a "dinky" little camera or maybe even just a phone, then clients will probably complain.

Agree with this. The psychological impact can go both ways. I know photographers who would never show up without their heavy artillery because it's an image thing for the photographer as well.

For me, I grew up on Canon. When I look at Canon, Nikon and Sony, there eco systems are setup for every possible scenario. Hypothetically, if you were to shoot a wedding a 12:00 and then an NFL game at 7:00 pm, what camera, lenses would you take? The R5 would be capable of both with appropriate lenses. Ask the same question if you only had a Fuji camera.

I love my X-S10, getting ready to buy an X-T5 and/or X-H2s. I love the Fuji experience.

I think your friends are telling you for image quality you are good. However, for all the different circumstances a Pro can find themselves in, best to go with an eco system where all needs can be met. That's my take.
