I'm interested in seeing what kind of "pro body" mirrorless they come up with (probably before the 2020 Olympics). But really, what would be the advantage over DSLR?? I can't think of any. It wouldn't be weight... it's the lens weight that matters most. And it won't be battery life. And this might not matter to everyone, but I'm sure a mirrorless would not work as well in cold weather as DSLR. So I'm pretty sure I'm a DSLR-for-life kind of guy.
As of now I am with you, sticking with DSLR because the mirrorless stuff (as a system) isn't complete enough for me to switch.

Currently I would consider the Sony a9 to probably be the king of mirrorless cameras for action type photography.

The biggest advantages it has over DSLR for me are

1.focus points across the entire sensor that work at f/8 and smaller apertures so no issues with supertele's and teleconverters
2.focus is straight on the sensor...no micro adjustment needed, AF is faster and it tracks moving subjects better
3.completely silent electronic shutter with no blackout shooting at high frame rates (up to 20 frames per sec)
4.electronic shutter up to 1/32,000 sec


Biggest problems are

1.poor battery life
2.lack of a large variety of lenses
3.no really high res model yet.
