Oh boy, this might trigger some Sony fans

A7r IV + 135mm GM produce image quality out of this world, but I shoot motorsport and it's a bit of a sluggish camera for that. I'm also a bit tired of waiting on the buffer to clear.
So I was thinking, H2s + fast CFExpress card with 16-50mm and 55-140mm lenses coupled with 20 fps would probably give a lot more keepers (I do shoot very slow panning, often down to 1/20th).
I always shoot during the day, almost always when it's sunny, worst case scenario cloudy and rain.
The only concern I have is that I do manipulate my photos a lot. Sometimes raise shadows by +100 in Lightroom. A7r IV manages this with almost no image degradation (with some noise cancelation). Not sure about a high end asp-c sensor.

So what do you think? Worth switching?

Looking at your photos, the gear will play a role in your enjoyment and your desire to go out and shoot more.

You obviously don't need better gear to take a better photograph, they are fantastic. I think the Fuji XH2s would probably check all your boxes and you would probably save some money in the long run.

Cheers
