Canon EOS R8 Specifications (the-digital-picture.com)

Instead, are you open to selling about everything and spending $1499 and changing to an R8 FF body weighing CIPA Weight16.3 oz (461g) ???

Would be hard to hit all OPs boxes with the weight requirements.

R8 or Rp is about 460g

16mm f2.8 165g

24-105 STM 395g

100-400 635g

50mm f1.8  160g

Already up to 1800g and we didn't even get a 35mm to replace their 22mm f2.   I guess you could go with the 24-50mm to shave 200g, but that's a really boring lens the OP prob doesn't want.

FF is heavier.  Even light FF is heavier since we are comparing to some of the lighter APS-C out there.   And this is pretty slow aperture FF, so not much advantage in terms of noise vs current kit.   It's not really going to be an upgrade unless they want to shoot wildlife with the 100-400.
