I find B&H Photo's web site really helpful with decisions like this....

There you can drill down for:

Digital camera
> Point n shoot (non-interchangeable lens)
>> Modest zoom (5X or less)
>>> 1" or larger APS-C sensor
>>>> Sorted by "best sellers"

Pretty quickly you end up with a list that's dominated by Canon G_X-series cameras, Sony RX100, Panasonic LX10 and not a whole lot more!

You can further narrow it down by specifying other desirable features such as:
- Price range
- Resolution
- Viewfinder
- Articulated rear LCD screen
- Touch Screen
- Hot shoe for flash
- etc.

Regardless where you end up buying (though it's usually hard to beat B&H prices), the web site very quickly narrows it to around around five current model possibilities, some older versions of those models, and various accessory bundles that are offered with them.

Once you've narrowed your options this much, it should be pretty easy to compare what remains side-by-side (B&H even has a tool to do so with up to four models).

Since you're currently using Canon DSLR and bridge cameras and familiar with how they function, you might find one of the Canon models the easiest to pair up with them.

BTW, you also might want to consider some of the Canon mirrorless M-series, which can be set up with a walk-around lens like an 18-150mm and serve much the same purpose as one or the point n shoot models, but still have the option to use the mirrorless camera with your DSLR lenses if you wish (via a lens adapter). For example, the M5 (built-in viewfinder) and M6 (viewfinder optional) are available for pretty close to the price of a point n shoot. The mirrorless would be a significant reduction in size and weight compared to most DSLRs.. though it won't be "pocketable". A P&S camera would certainly be even more compact, but those with the "better lenses" and larger sensors also may not be truly pocketable.

I’m looking for a pocket or belt pouch sized camera to replace/complement a Canon bridge camera and DSLR to use for more convenient picture taking while traveling. I’m tired of lugging the bigger ones around.
I’ve looked at:
Canon G5x, G7x, G9x;
Sony hx99, RX100 VII
Panasonic ZS70, ZS80, ZS100, ZS200.
I’ve researched until my brain is tired and confused, and I’m wondering if any of you have some real life experience with any of these with recommendations. Most of my travel pictures are taken outside and I’d prefer a decent optical zoom, 1” sensor, raw capability etc. but I’m open to any good options. Budget can expand for the right camera.

I have the G7x (mkii) and I'm very happy with it. I did the same as you and spent a long time comparing between the Canon, Sony and Panasonic options. The G7 brought price and features together for me.

Having a camera that goes with me all the time has been a long-standing goal. I never fully realized it during the film era. When digital arrived I ran through a series of shirt-pocket compacts (Sony WS type) but was never happy as they each eventually screwed me unable to capture a raw file. Eventually I gave up on the shirt-pocket for a jacket-pocket that could save a raw file. The Canon G7 is my latest iteration of that camera and it is my main camera. My main camera is the camera I use the most and that's the G7. I use it almost daily.

A downside is what it does to your other cameras. The G7 is so convenient and always right there on my desk and generally it's up to the task so the other cameras get neglected. Then when you do get out the big guns your wife says, "What's that camera? Have I seen that camera? What did that one cost?"
