I felt exactly the same about the RP as you did, so I am glad I got the R. The EOS R probably is the best, ergonomically, for me, of all cameras I ever owned, but I really enjoy the Oly Pen-F and the EM-1 II as well - they are different, but equally great to handle. Just different. The EM-1 does not have th eproblem I had with the RP, but them the grip is much deeper, and the Pen-F is a replacement for a compact camera for me, with the advantage of exchangeable lenses

The way I see it is very simple: if a lens is way bigger than the body, then fine: just hold the lens when taking a picture.
To me, this is a non-existent issue: you carry the body with the right hand and use the left hand to support the lens.
If I have a big body, I'd do exactly the same. The size of the body is irrelevant.
.I have been doing so since my analog days
