I was considering getting a mirrorless camera and a compact lens setup for traveling with my family. After a week of researching I stayed with my phone. It's a huge pita (especially once you consider post processing) and the only situations where you will really need one is low light or evening pictures, and nature photography.

So no, hauling a dslr and 3kg of lens is not really a solution, especially with a kid in one arm. My phone is several years old (Oneplus 7 Pro) and the only thing I wish it had was modern camera and software to match.

My phone's camera is complete shit and I still don't bother with my DSLR for the reasons you describe.

You can get way more compact mirrorless, my Fuji X-E3 + 35mm f/2 is 550g and the difference in image quality is very clear.
