Greetings,
Given the complete difference in technolgy, and the fact that the 7D is over a decade older, the R6 will outperform the 7D by leaps and bounds everywhere. Do you own any EF glass?
The difference in low light performance alone would warrant the upgrade for me. You might even find that you don't need a flash for some of the more brightly lit indoor scenes. The R6 also has superior tracking capability which may not be such a big deal for someone who shoots mostly indoors.
The DigicX in the R6 was kept at 20MP for a reason. Its capable of capturing an incredible amount of light and detail. The R6 is nearly half a pound lighter too.
The considerations:
The EVF and R6 are much more power hungry. 360 vs 800 images on a single battery charge. While you can use APS-C lenses with a R6, the resulting images won't be 20MP. Think somewhere between 7~8MP. So you may want to factor in the cost of new EF, RF lenses and adapter.
For someone using a 10 yr old camera, there are a million reasons to get the R6 and another million not too. Your needs, and budget, are going to to have to decide that.

Others here will have more to add I'm sure.
