Moving on from a 5d4 - hows Canon R vs. Sony nowadays?

Hello!!

I have a basic 5d4 hobby kit from 2017 and I think it's a good time now to finally move to mirrorless, as lugging around a big and heavy DSLR increasingly feels dreadful as the years roll on. It's gotten bad enough that my last several trips I've brought nothing but my iPhone lol.

Haven't really been following the enthusiast gear scene the last few years; how is the Canon R system looking nowadays compared to the Sony Alpha and FE system? Read the reviews for the R5 and R6 Mk2, and A7 IV and A7R V so I have a good idea about the camera bodies, but what about the lenses and accessories?

I have the ff. Canon gear besides the 5d4 body: Canon EF 24-70 f4 L IS, Canon EF 16-35 f4 L IS, Canon EF 50 f1.8 II, Canon 600EX II. Are any of these worth using with a Canon RF body?

Overall, what would be an honest recommendation between shifting to either Canon or Sony mirrorless systems?

Thanks and would greatly appreciate your thoughts
