Do I double down on the EF glass and get the 5D to keep shooting for the next 5-7 yrs, do nothing and take my chances, or is it time to start moving to RF? I have no issue with the photos I am getting, quality is very good. Perhaps my only complaint is 6D's focus and low continuous shooting rates, both would be fixed by the 5D. Or I can save my nickels and start moving to mirrorless; though even the R6 is $2400 ish.
Dan,
I have posted quite a few shots here that I made with a Canon 5D Mark IV and either a 100-400 MK II or a 500mm MK II. At that time I also had the 1DX MK II that you have. The combination was excellent and I have always thought that there was/is something very special about the colours and tones of the images produced by both those bodies.
With essentially the same autofocus system they are a perfect complement to each other and you get the benefit of the extra 10 megapixels with the Mark IV.
You have already got good EF glass, so maybe you should get the Mark IV. If your budget extends further then maybe you can find a good used EF 500mm MK II and a 1.4x Extender. The 500 is razor sharp and tolerates the extender very well. I found 700mm to be an almost perfect focal length for many air show cases - a worthwhile increment over 600mm without being too long.
That combination might bring you more benefit than a change to mirrorless. Just another angle to consider. 
Cheers,
Steve.
