Lens Upgrades for the EOS R6 Mark II

I recently bought an R6 Mark II, trading in an EOS 80D with the EF-S 18-135 mm kit lens and an EF-S 10-18 mm. Now, the lenses I currently have are the RF 24-105 mm F4-7.1 STM (kit lens), EF 70-300 mm F4-5.6 USM II, and the EF 50 mm F1.8. I would like to get at least one or two RF L lenses. What would be the best way to upgrade to better RF lenses for landscape, travel, street, and walking around?

I recognize this place - I used to live a couple of short miles away in the historic section north of downtown.  I'll be out there again tomorrow for a week long visit.  Nice shots!  I miss the Labor Day Balloon Fest.

These are two photos I submitted to a photo contest associated with a balloon festival in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The first photo was shot with my EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens. You can see why I decided to keep it for a while longer instead of going with a newer RF telephoto zoom.

The second photo was shot with my RF 14-35mm f4 L lens. It was a shot of a balloon inflating but I noticed the silhouettes on the side in post and cropped the photo to show them because I thought it was a better composition than the original photo. Even with the crop, I was pleased with how the photo turned out.
