All of it needs to be treated with care, all of it is a "PIta"; even the little
Leica is like a boil on my hip so who cares; everything you carry is a pain.
Might as well carry the best then !
I Have in my car; a macro kit in one bag, a birding kit in another (150 -450 with a K3 II S ) and a K3 with an 18-135 in a neoprene stretch case for "walkies"
On very infrequent occassions I take the large format and acompanying paraphenslia, I forget the difference when hiking around brcause it is always a necessary part of the game and the total weight of the bag or the zoomster is all that matters.
So it is a fact that all are obtrusive and inconvenient, weight and shape-wise.
Two camera bodies might be 200 gms different when you ad a 3kilo lense what is the issue with the body weight; it is a consideration that id spurious at best.
My large format presents no more of a weight challenge than the rest , so buy the best for your needs and forget weight; that is my motto.

You could be right as there's a 'Best Premium Camera' that separate from Professional DSLRs/Mirrorless. Perhaps Premium means overpriced/snob value in this case
