However, define "nature photography". If you are talking about wide angle landscape shots and macro photography, a full frame camera like the 5DIV might be great. But if you mean wildlife.... especially smaller critters... you might be better sticking with one of the APS-C cameras... perhaps a 90D (which actually has higher resolution than 5DIV and an updated version of the 6DII's AF system).
Look at it this way.... for wildlife shots you take now with a 200mm, with full frame you'll need a 300mm. And for what you shoot now with 300mm, you'll need 500mm. Or if you have a 500mm now, you'll need an 800mm on the full frame camera. Look carefully at the sizes, weights and prices of the lenses you'll need! Unless you're planning to make prints larger than 16x20", you might want to stick with a crop sensor camera!
For street photography I wouldn't want either 5DIV or 6DII. In fact, for street (and some specialized candid portraiture) I recently bought a Canon M5 mirrorless camera (APS-C) and several compact lenses (12mm, 22mm, 56mm, 90mm). One of the lenses I expect to use most is a Canon EF-M 22mm f/2, which weighs under 1/4 lb. and is almost a "pancake" (I've fitted it with a 3rd party lens hood that nearly doubles it's size!). The entire kit of M5 and lenses weighs about the same as one of my 7DII and moderate size zooms. To me a "street" camera needs to be small and unobtrusive. I want to look like a tourist, not a pro. This can work well for candid portraiture, too.
If I really, really wanted full frame for street photography, I'd have to look at some of the most compact mirrorless such as Sony a7C, Sigma fp and (once I win the lottery) Leica M-10. I'd have to look into what compact lenses are available in each system though, before deciding. A Canon RP isn't quite as compact as those other cameras, but might serve well too, perhaps with RF 35mm f/1.8 and RF 85mm f/2 lenses.
