If you’re worried about calling it a mirror lens, then you don’t know Schmidt (Cassegrain).
I believe it would be more of a Maksutov.

Splain it to me, Lucy, aside from mirror slap noise and the click, what can a mirrorless camera do that a DSLR can't?
Why do I love mirrorless? Let me count the ways:
1. Smaller body by removing the space needed for that yesteryear flapping mirror.
2. IBIS that turns every lens into a stabilized lens, even the golden oldies of the manual focus, pre-electronic ages.
3. EVF with shimmering highlights of the plane of focus.
4. Histogram available for display in electronic view finder (EVF).
5. Detailed 10x zoom in EVF.
6. Silent (not a single noise) shutter.
7. Extreme frames per second, 20+.
8. Image playback in EVF for review when LCD impossible to see in bright light.
9. Image playback at 10x zoom in EVF.
10. Sharper mirrorless lens designs.
11. More ultra fast lenses as sharp wide open as any stepped down DSLR lens ever.
12. One digital platform supporting portfolio of legacy DSLR lenses, legacy SLR lenses and modern mirrorless lenses.
13. Autofocus beyond f/8 for extended configurations.
14. Platform for any / all ongoing technology advancements in digital photography.
15. EVF that displays the results of the image before shooting.
16. EVF that allows for ad hoc updates like boosting the ISO for a brighter focus view, then restore ISO and shoot, without even lowering the camera from a shooting position.
17. Entire frame available for selective AF position.
I'm sure I missed probably several others.

Apart from being smaller and lighter, what can a DSLR do that a view camera can't?

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have a mirrorless camera, you can do amazing things.
I think it was a week ago I read that very same statement from a Chinese fortune cookie.

The grass is always greener when captured with a mirrorless camera.

That would depend on the planet. Elon Musk has made a chart explaining different practices on different planets. There will be a written test before you are allowed to board his spaceship.

Certainty, Boldness and Confidence are the common attributes of all those who go mirrorless.
As George Takei saud about William Shatner after the latter's recent space flight: “He’s boldly going where other people have gone before.”

But seriously, putting a mirror in the lens instead of in the camera is nothing short of brilliant.

I have a Minolta AF 500mm mirror lens that works very well on my Sony a7Riv and a6500. The camera doesn't know the difference between the mirror lens and any other lens other than there are no F-stops. The earth did not stop turning when I clicked the shutter. There were no reversed images from the mirror. Using a mirror lens on a mirrorless camera in no reflection on you.....

Paul, having a mirror lens on a mirrorless camera does not mean you are not shooting mirrorless anymore.
