I’ve been using the R10 for the past 2ish years and feel like treating myself for Christmas. It’s between a used R6 from MPB or a brand new R8. They roughly cost the same of around €1500. I have no interest in video using them purely for photo. I use these purely for a hobby but maybe some day for paid work. Any recommendations?

Hi and welcome:
Much depends on what and how you photograph. There are several notable differences between the R6 and R8:
Without knowing what you shoot, what lenses you will use with it and what you produce, it's hard for us to be more specific.
Note: any RF-S lenses you have for the R10 will not fully use the full-frame sensor of the R6 or R8, reducing the output from from 20MP R6 to about 7.7 and the 24MP sensor on the R8 to about 10MP. So, you would need to factor in an RF lens as part of your consideration if you want to fully realize the benefits of FF.
