This is really simple, get the RF 24-104 stm and the RF 100-400 and go hike.

Your making this 100% harder then you have to.  First you will NOT go hiking with 4 lens for long.

Get kit #1 and your done.

I have all the lens's you have listed,  and use as needed.  I have gone from a backpack with 4-5 lens's to 1 or 2 at the most.  With 2, one is on the body and one is on a GoWing Lens Flipper.  The reason is simple as I grow older my stuff puts on weight faster than I do   I use the RF 24-105 stm 80% of the time now.  A bit over a year ago I traded in 4 old EF lens I had not used for a long time and my EF 16-35f4* for the RF 14-35 f4

With the RF 24-105 stm and RF 100-400  you will have 24-400 covered with two very lite weight len's.  If you need more than 400 get the RF 1.4x its works GREAT on the rf 100-400.

YES I do own the RF 24-240 and it is an AWESOME lens and I still use it.  Plus sometimes I use it with the 14-35

* I really liked this lens but that  -2mm was needled
