It sounds like a mirrorless setup might for you. I have basically the same use cases... I use my Olympus u4/3 gear on vacation or specific things, but for everyday carry, it's just my iPhone 7.
Of course, I now own so much u4/3 stuff that it probably weighs more than a single DSLR and a single nice zoom. Two bodies, a pro level zoom, a handful of 1.8 primes, and moderately priced super-wide and telephoto zooms. Deciding what to bring on any given trip is getting to be a "problem". lol.
