The "if you can afford an R3, 1DX3 (insert name here)" camera argument you can afford crazy high priced cards is just wrong. As a pro I need upwards of 20 cards on any given weekend. I don't shoot video, so SD cards are a stellar value. I would one thousand percent rather spend $4000-$5000 on a new body or lens than 20 CFExpress cards, or save the money and take my family on a great vacation! This is one of the main reasons I never upgraded from a 1DX2 to a 1DX3. Didn't want to spend thousands on memory cards.
If you need a professional camera like the R3 then you are also likely to need redundancy from dual cards. Your backup should be as good and reliable as your main card. As it stands you put in one CF Express card and leave the SD slot blank so not to slow down the camera and because SD isn't a backup; it's a failure waiting to happen.
