I'm leaning towards to the Sony and just use an adapter for my Canon lenses
Late responding, but the Sony a7RIII blows away any current Canon body, in terms of resolution and dynamic range. I moved from the 5D4 to an a9 and a7RIII combo. I've got the Metabones adapter MkV, at use it with my EF 14mm f/2.8L II and my EF 500mm f/4L IS II. There's no loss of function with the wide angle, but a little slowness with the 500mm. I've tried it with the adapter and the EF 24-105mm, the 70-200mm and the 100-400mm, with no loss of functionality.

I have gone to the FE 12-24/f4, the FE 24-70/f2.8 and the FE 100-400mm for the Sony's lock-on AF functions and the eye-detect AF functions. The EF lenses don't have these AF enhancements.

So, to summarize the a7RIII gives you WYSIWYG EVF functionality, lock-on AF in several modes, eye-detection AF, silent shutter, hundreds more AF points, AF down to f/11 and a little more than one-stop additional DR.

Go for it.
