a pro tool for sure

though reach is the limiter

Sometimes I have to weigh the options and make some compromises

I'm not spending $8,000 CAD before taxes on an R3. Can't justify it. R5 is up there in price too and is about to be bested by the R5 II.

Because no matter what camera you buy today will be bested by more features or newer technology 2+ years down the road. Which is why I held onto my 40D for 7+ years and the 7D MK2 for equally as long. I'll still use it when I really need the reach. These cameras can last a long time nowadays.

I value low-light shooting as a top priority which is why I didn't consider the R5. I know noise-reduction in post will help to mitigiate the noise issue but the R6 and R6 II have a headstart in this area. I'm not afraid to shoot at ISO 102,000 if I had to. I will avoid using that ISO if I can.

on NR, many of us use class leading dxo PhotoLAB 6

I think R6II for the money is the way to go if you are fine with the reach of your glass

best wishes
