So assuming the R50 or R10, I'd be curious what lenses you would be using. For important travel I use my R5 with the RF 24-105 + etc. I don't know what RF-S lenses can compete. The RF 18-150 is nice but can't compare with the L really.
If I take the R50, it'll be the 28mm f/2.8 and 18-45, unless Canon hurries up and rereleases the EF-M 22mm f/2 as an RF-S lens. Right now I'm leaning towards the Fuji or Olympus simply because they have more & faster pancake primes; I prefer Canon's UI, but they're woefully behind everyone else in small lenses.
As far as I care, if I can't easily get it in and out of a general-purpose shoulder bag (not a specific camera bag) with one hand, it's not a travel option. A travel camera/lens should enhance the experience, not hinder or distract from it. I used to love the EF 24-105 f/4L and EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 back when they were basically the only options for those mounts, but I wouldn't consider them for a second now.
I've shot enough with everything from the worst compact lenses imaginable (1960s third party pancakes get downright bizarre) right up to the gigantic dream lenses some people can't even believe exist (Canon CN20x50 and EF 1200mm f/5.6), to know that when I'm in a new place, seeing things for the first time and desperately trying to remember how to ask for directions, camera size is far more important than how the innards work.

I love my R5 with the 15-30 (yeah, I don't shoot wide often), 50/1.2, 100/2.8, 28-70/2, 70-200/2.8, 100-400, 300/2.8, 600/4, and I'm keen for the 200-800 to finally come in stock so I can slap that on it as well. But I'm never taking it out of the country again.


The R5 doesn't look so bad, it's actually a bit lighter than an older body I've been using. But those lenses, other than 100/2.8 & 100-400 (if its Rf) are pretty huge. 15-30 is close to 2.5lbs!



The RF 15-30 is 390 grams or 0.9lbs

I have it and is a pretty good lens, aside from being slow.
