I would stick with your current system for now, and see what Canon releases in RF-S.

According to a Canon strategy document, their goal is to release about eight new RF/RFS lens models per year.

That's 7.9 RF and 0.1 RF-s.

Good for a laugh. But seriously, they've released three so far in ten months, so perhaps we should hold off on the pessimism for now.

Feel free to be optimistic, I'm pessimistic. The RF 24&35&50mm f/1.8 stm lenses will have to act as a bridge to full frame, so no compact f/1.4 primes goodness like on M. Canon can release slow zooms whatever they want but to my eye there's no true ILC benefit without those great f/1.4 primes. And without those primes all we can expect is one more dedicated RF crop zoom, the 11-22mm, and that's it. That will cover 11-210mm and if you need more light you'll have to pay for the RF primes.

Sad.

I also think it's kind of sad Canon is waiting so long with releasing that RF-s 11-22mm. To my eye that's the most important RF-s zoom, as you can do the rest with the RF 24-240mm IS USM.
