Another misconception...
All DLSR'S are not created equal. The Canon 1DXMk3 has a choice of electronic, first curtain, and mechanical. In live view you can use a monitor or an external EVF.

If you really want to see the differences between the three shutter modes, take a shot of your television screen with shutter speed above and below 200/ sec... Each will reveal their shortcomings.

Mirrorless are wonderful, but it's not the shutter that makes them desirable, it's the built in EVF live view and the lens mount.

The Global shutter will make all current mirrorless obsolete, and that will be sooner than later from what I suspect.

Mirrorless are like the music CD ... mirrorless will evolve into a whole new animal someday soon...

The Canon 1DXMk3 has a mirror and a shutter. No misconception. Yes, DSLRs can be shot in Live View, and can be quite effective for video. But, they lose AF capability, as well as the use of the viewfinder, and then you have to contend with the LCD monitor (which can be quite distracting in low light situations).

You can self-select for failure. Your choice.

Sometimes I think you believe what you write. You really can’t mean this.

That very much depends on the location of the digit or three

1/125 or 1/128 is pretty much always meaningless.
f/1.7 or f/1.4 is likely to be over $100 (& f/2 to f/1 much more)

Give me the AR-15 staccato bark of my D500 over the wussy whining of a mirrorless camera any day! Now that’s a MAN’s camera!

True, but it works fine for me. My 2200 nit monitor has performed perfectly in the brightest conditions and can be dimmed for the lowest light. I do also have a mechanical shutter for fast action with no buffer limit, unlike most mirrorless... autofocus is 100& accurate and does a spectacular job with the eye AI.

Sillier bravado was never written. You would stand out like a turd in a punch bowl if you fired off a loud dSLR burst at a wedding ceremony, or during a stage play (even if you had permission to photograph the play).

I just point to White House press conferences, where it's impossible to hear what's being said over the constant clacking of DSLR burst shooting. They need to ban them.

It is Feb 2023 and gwilliams6 points out most everyday, all these news organizations have supposedly gone to Sony mirrorless. Even though, we see (hear) the news to the contrary on a daily basis ...

Oh, you thought I was serious? No, I just wanted to inject a little levity to emphasize a serious topic. Can we lighten up a little? I mostly shoot with a Z6ii. In silent mode I have no idea how many shots I just took.

I'll agree to that! By the time the network and local TV broadcasters compress the hell out of the audio, the shutters are almost as loud as the folks at the podium or in the Oval Office!
