If your objective is social media posts then the analytics get reduced to the lowest common denominator.
Like it or not, most sites will reduce your file to 2800 pixels on the long side, and you have to reduce the spectrum to 8 bit, using the truncated sRGB spectrum for electronic reproduction. Sure as hell do not need 61 meg FF for that. 24 meg is over-kill.
Besides making photos, I do retouching for major product advertisers ... like General Motors. Much donkey work for cars is done using CGI, but the glamor product stuff and lifestyle stuff is photography. Almost all of the images are done with Medium Format digital cameras ... mostly 100 meg Fuji GFX, Hasselblad H and now the new mirrorless, and of course Phase One. Not one Sony pic to date. Certainly not a cell phone shot, those fall apart when trying to retouch them.
I use a Leica Medium Format camera for most my commercial work, and a Hasselblad H before that, and a Contax before that. If you print your work, you will see a difference from those megapixel-shmegapixels ... and in a big way.
(By the way I use a Sony A7R-IV and A7R-V, and top optics for my less important work).

Thanks for sharing your expertise and medium format equipment use.
I am tracking my iPhone 15 Pro Max for delivery in a couple days.
