Three years in and I may just buy another R

While there are quite a lot of options now available in Canon's lineup to replace the R, none offer a direct upgrade path in terms of a camera that is objectively better (or at least equivalent) in EVERY category at a similar price point. And there never will be at this stage. Whether it's pixel count, smaller battery, less robust build, inferior EVF, rear display, etc. there is some sort of trade-off.

For many, the small trade-offs are a no-brainer that can be easily discounted. Having said that, I don't quite find myself in that category.

If/when I replace my R, I'll most likely be moving to the R6 mark II or the R5 - there are simply too much comprimises with the R8 for my liking.
