Looking for advice for my current setup on my R8, wanting to sell some lenses and then buy another

I mainly shoot portraits and events, but do also capture some landscape (not as often as portraits) and wildlife when I travel (usually twice a year). My current set-up on my R8 is:

  • RF 28-70mm f/2.8 STM (recently bought 2nd hand)
  • RF 50mm f1.8 STM (planning on selling)
  • RF 35mm F/1.8 Macro STM (unsure if I should sell, as I do like the idea of having the macro and extra stop of aperture, but I don't think I'd ever take any true macro photos, besides close-up product photos - which I believe can be done with my 28-70 lens?
  • Tamron EF SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 (with an adaptor) - looking to sell this and instead buy the RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 USM - very mad at myself since I saw one on fb marketplace for $800 AUD and didn't get it :(

So basically, am wanting to keep my RF 28-70mm f/2.8 STM, sell my two primes and buy a RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 USM

I am a paid photographer (not my full time job), but not professional wedding level, and definitely not at the level or budget to buy L glass.

Any advice is appreciated :)
