Ive tried some of the mirrorless range namely the R6 and R6 mk2 and wasn't too impressed comparing it against my older 1dx2 it couldn't match the share speed of getting focus locked on and keeping it tracking as accurately. If i where to compare it against the old 6D which i had many moons ago then yes its good. i was looking to get a mirrorless but it couldnt offer me anything that my old 1dx2 was giving me, so i borrowed a friends 1dx3 and that is marginally better but the cost of several new cards, new card reader and around £2000 more than i spent on the newer 1dx2 (was a bargain at £1500 with the mint condition and extremely low shutter under 11000} i couldn't justify it and probably the 1dx3 would have swallowed my whole budget as im ordering  a canon 24-70mm f2.8 mk2 next week thats going to be into 4 figures add new tripod and backpack as well. So the 24-70 will live on the older 1dx2 and only used in single shot mode for walkabout and landscapes and newer one take my 100-400mm and 1,4x for wildlife and aviation. They should see me out lol as ive not yet reached the point where they cannot provide what i want from them and dont see that day coming either
