Focus on GLASS. You have a good camera in the D800 and you can only shoot one body at a time. Of course where you are doing paid gigs, you need a 2nd body ... but a 28-300 3.5-5.6, while fine as a "travel & family snapshot" lens, is not what I would use for professional work.
But good glass will make a world of difference in your pictures. Your idea of going with high-quality professional f/2.8 zooms is a good one. In the long run they offer the best balance between flexibility and performance ... and in an aggregate, result in the lightest camera bag as the # of primes needed to replace one of those zooms ends up being heavier and bulkier and more $
That said, once you have your pro-quality zooms and get good at using them, you can salt in with faster primes and specialty lenses where you have a need, but only where you have the need.
Finally, in time, get yourself a back-up body.
Develop a plan and stick to it.
