The R8 is aimed directly at you and the kind of photography you say you do. If you do decide on the R8, stay up late the night of April 17, so you can place your order right after midnight on the 18th, which is the announced release date, unless you can find a way to pre order earlier.
https://store.canon.co.uk/canon-eos-r8-mirrorless-camera-rf-24-50mm-f4-5-6-3-is-stm-lens/5803C018/ are already taking pre-orders with an expected shipping date of 30/04/2023, so check your local availability now, if you're in a hurry. I think the 24-50mm is well worth the £200 premium over the bare body price, it's just about to be released so you'll find plenty of buyers if you find you don't like it. But the 24-105mm well be a bigger and better lens.
(Not sure what time zone, but I think you would want to know that). Canon is only going to produce 11,000 R8s a month to start. You want to be at the head of the list, or you could end up waiting months for your camera.
I’m sure there are other people here who can provide more precise advice on how to get at the head of the line, but I can tell you that I ardered my R7 the morning of the day it was released, and waited months before it arrived.
Most of the recent mirrorless releases from Canon have been much more readily available in kits than body only. I don’t think I would ever use the 24-50mm lens, but if I was on a hurry to get the camera, I’d probably spend the extra $200. People who had ordered kits quite a bit later than I ordered my R7 body only were receiving their cameras a month ahead of me.
