Phones cameras are getting spectacularly good. I've already mostly abandoned my @Sony a6300 in favor of my @Google Pixel 3. Mostly because the workflow is 10x easier and the quality is good enough. It's really a marvel. austinmann.com

Started using @PhaseOnePhoto's Capture One Pro for editing. Really happy with it so far—my workflow still needs some improvement though.
