I use a Nikon D750 with D700 as backup, they both have a battery grip and an improved viewfinder screen for better manual focus, and I own 20+ lenses for them, of which I consider five my core working set.
If I would be somehow forced to switch to mirrorless, I would have to restart looking for great lenses again. Which arent even guaranteed to exist. Nevermind everything would be far more expensive, too. And all that just to get to the very same place in regards to image quality that I'm already at, maybe slightly better.
I am a Nikon user (not a pro though) and had similar thoughts, until I bought a Z9. I never regrated a bit with that decision. With the ZF2 adapter all your F glass that is AF-S will work like a breeze. Only caveat, AF-D lenses. For them, I would say keep your D700 and get rid of D750 (purely for the rendering of D700). Focusing with pre-AI and AI lenses is so much easier with mirrorless.

I've been very tempted to buy a Canon 5DMK4, as it was always a dream camera of mine. Unfortunately, there's no way I can justify it now. 😀
The fact that it has always been a dream camera for you is plenty of justification. (imho)
I kept my D1x and D2x as collectibles. Don't use them anymore, though. I should probably have kept my D700 & especially D850 (the last best DSLR) too, latter of which I still used until very recently. (Also had a D750 and meh didn't need to keep that one, felt more disposable than the pro-tier bodies. Still say it should've been called D650.)
