Doesn't sound like you ever had any senses to come to!

You have come to the conclusion of what has been discussed here many times. If the camera you have is doing its job there is no reason to update.
You have taken the wiser decision, to buy the lenses you need for it.

Sounds like you got it right. I like my R too and I’m still using the 60D and 6D for specific shots. If it works for you why change?

Sony has upgraded the a9 to the a9II and now the a1. I am still getting killers with my a9, I do not see any reason to switch.
Great shot Bill!

Wise decision. It's amazing what compounding interest can do over the years when you start young!

Only you seem to be the one obsessed over if a camera has a mirror or not.

An old Kodak digital P&S was one of my "Pro" cameras because there is one image of a flamingo from it that has sold more prints than anything else I ever did. My focus has never been selling prints, but if we're defining "professional" then maybe it's relevant. No, I would never rely on that as my only camera, but it did take at least one "pro" photo! Most photographers, even the "serious" or "professional" kind, do not need the latest marketing gadgets or best possible resolution. I've always worked with what I had and did just fine with weddings, events, portraits and products. I don't miss the Kodak, but sometimes I still long for my old RB67. I guess my interest isn't in the gear as much as the resulting captures, though I do admire the technology for it's own sake. I used to have some fancy audio gear that could reproduce sounds beyond the range of human hearing, now what was the point of that? ;) ?

I have a camera.
Maybe my camera identifies as a pro camera?
I don't know, I haven't asked it.

Have been using the R since it was first available. It is a much more capable camera than it is often given credit for. Recently got the R5 and love it as well. The two are very complementary and I use them both, the R5 for wildlife (birds, etc.), and the R for landscapes and macro not requiring the extra dynamic range and lower noise of the R5.
If it weren’t for animal eye focus, and faster frame rate, I would have picked up a second R for backup as I make my living from photography and can’t do without a backup body. I expect to use both R and R5 for a long, long time as digital bodies have progressed to the point that real improvements related to actual image quality are coming in very small increments for increasingly large amounts of $$.

I like my Mamiya RB 67 Pro SD as well now as when I first bought it new more than 25 years ago.

I feel the same about mine.
