I have two manual focus ones - one with aperture ring and one without. I was going to buy an AF one when they came out but they get really bad reviews.

I don't think ultra high speed (@30fps, 8.2MP) is exclusively the province of mirrorless. My D500 can shoot in 4K movie mode and capture individual 8 MP frames at that same speed. And it has a mirror.

I'm very comfortable looking through my analog viewfinder which shows me what my analog eye sees. A split-second after I shoot I can view what I digitally captured on my LCD. A lot of processing is going on in my brain but I think I can make my main decisions about capture in that time. Although I may need an upgrade.

Sorry, but your D500 is in full mirrorless mode when you are shooting video, with the major disadvantage of a non-functional viewfinder when it is doing it (the mirror is locked up and the "Shutter" is electronic)! Your archaic analog viewfinder has nothing to do with shooting video. When I am shooting live performance video with my bleeding-edge tech mirrorless cameras, I can turn off the rear LCD screen and use the EVF - thus avoiding annoying the audience with the rudeness of a bright screen shining in their eyes. That also applies when I am checking the stills and/or videos - I can see them in my big bright EVF, again avoiding annoying people in the audience.

I also have adjusted the EVF settings so that the live finder view looks precisely the same as the recorded images, so no surprises there! It is also an easy matter to dim the LCD and/or the EVF to avoid the momentary blindness that can occur when looking away from the display(s) when shooting in a dark venue. Oh, and don't forget the live histogram, the depth of field scale, the wonderful manual focusing aids, etc., all of which make it so much easier to "get it right in the camera" - all in my mirrorless camera's beautiful EVF.

I like SLR and not mirrorless and that's why my DSLR doesn't do video.

Agree to each their own.
My (each their own) is I use my Nikon D500 and I have (for my wife) the Sony a6000 which she likes a lot.
Don't do video other than for fun short clips...
