That will work as long as EF lenses are still available… But Canon already took some lenses out of production.
So basically, that’s gonna be a dead end path.

As a current Canon photographer (700D owner) going mirrorless is definitely the future. Canon and Nikon have basically given up on DSLRs. (https://www.engadget.com/why-nikon-and-canon-have-given-up-on-dsl-rs-133042286.html).
However, I want to highly stress out to avoid Canon for mirrorless. The reason behind it is that Canon has been “defending” their mirrorless mount relentlessly. Meaning, that no other 3rd parties without Canon’s blessing can make lenses for the RF mount.

So unless you wanna spend big bucks on Canon approved lenses, I’d go with either Nikon, Sony or one of the other mirrorless brands.
Fun fact, Sony is actually quite permissive in the licensing of their E mount. So they will basically let everyone make lenses for the E-mount.
I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.
Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( https://headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).
However if you don’t feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.
