It's not a hole. It's a new life. Embrace it!

I can't tell you because nobody I know has found the bottom.
It's in your hands.
You can exercise some control over your experience by learning how to use your present gear until you sense you have outgrown it. Then you could rent to try before you buy. When ready to buy, consider used and refurbished cameras. And you do not necessarily require the most expensive lenses.
As one example, both Sigma and Canon offer a 100-400mm lens. The more expensive Canon lens does have slightly better optics and weather sealing, and it is physically larger and heavier. Yet, you may find that the Sigma version suits your needs.
This approach may help, too: Learn composition and exposure along with the importance of subject and intention. Just about any camera will suffice for this approach to becoming a better photographer.
By these means, you will also lessen the influence of shills and various sales pitches.

You don't mention your location. go to the b&h store in NY City, with a very fat wallet. It will be empty when you leave
One upside is...
If your wife leaves you over it...you can take a snapshot as she walks out the door.

Thanks. I’ve also got plenty of auto-focus glass too. I will not be wanting of lenses 👍
Thanks
But you will probably want the d850 soon.

Nice shot. The hole is deep and twisted. Enjoy the journey, buy with your head not over it.
You have pretty much reached the bottom of the rabbit hole with the D750 for right now. Nikon does make a couple of bodies that have 45 mp sensors but that's it right now. The D750, with its 24 mp sensor, will give you the image definition that we used to associate with 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 film cameras along with at least 10 stops of latitude at ISO 100.
The technology train has slowed down for the time being. The transition to mirrorless technology has not really gained a lot of speed yet.
Computers and post processing software have replaced the darkrooms of the past so there are other skill sets and expenses that will also loom in the not too distant future if they haven't already.
Hang in there. The technology and what it does for your workflow is amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

HOW LONG CAN YOU TREAD WATER ?
I also have the D750, it will never be "antiquated". Since the D750 came out 6 years ago, there have only been marginal improvements in digital photography. Computers and software can mimic most of what any in-camera improvements have accomplished. I bought the D750 because it was a reasonably priced, not too heavy, full-frame with a built-in flash, articulated rear screen, and excellent dynamic range. It handles all my film camera lenses, D-AF lenses, and the AF-S lenses. After 2 years with it, still have only partially implemented all it can do.

I’m new to digital. Been an avid film burner for decades. I think the D90 and D750 will suffice.
No.no.no... It won't suffice, the hole gets deeper: Nikon Df a must for those like us that still shoots film. You get the same feeling in handling, like a film camera.
