Finally, you may have actually produced a mirrorless camera I would consider owning.
The intial tests are impressive. Removing the 30 min recording limit awesome! Not to mention that the device doesn't catch fire.
My only concern which remains is the 24MP sensor.
Back up is the R5c, but here again, we need to see what "active cooling" is going to sound like and how much deeper its going to make the body. If it lives up to the 45MP rumor, and isn't more of a tank that the R3, 2022 might be a great year.
Not being a videographer, I have not had to endure your frustrations. To me the R-series up until the R3 were like WW2 U-boats: not true submarines but submersibles. A true sub can stay underwater until it runs out of food or the crew revolts. To me, the R-series bodies were still cameras that were capable of doing limited video work, but were not really intended to be there for the pro-videographer who wanted to take long sequences. Mind you, looking at something like Attenborough's wildlife series, their clips are actually very short.
I always thought that if one wanted to be a videographer, then the logical thing to do was to buy a camera built for that purpose specifically. The R3 seems to have achieved a bridge between the two.
I love my R5 and R6 units for stills photography. I think Canon made a big marketing mistake early on by pushing the videography features and setting an unrealistic expectation of what could be expected.
I hope your wait will be rewarded and the R3 and/or R5c work for you! 
Personally, as a long-lens shooter, I would like 2022 to deliver, at least the sniff of an R7, pro-level APS-C camera with all the features of the current R-series, although I would be happy to do without the video features - let's face it you're getting the R3 and R5c, after all!!!
