I bought a Canon R10 - Did I make a mistake?

So 5-6 years ago I purchased a Canon 6D with a "nifty fifty" as well as a 35mm Sigma Art f/1.4 lens. It cost me about $2000, which was a lot of money for me at the time (especially since I'm only a hobby photographer).

Anyway, I wanted to upgrade to a mirrorless camera due to its better autofocusing system etc, so after a lot of reading (I was mostly researching full frame cameras), I ended up ordering an APS-C camera (the Canon R10).

My thinking was, due to the 1.6x crop factor, my 50mm would become an 80mm lens and my 35mm Sigma would become 56mm. And I wanted a lens in this region for portrait photography.

But now I hear that just attaching one of these full frame lenses via an EF to RF mount, could actually make the IQ worse.

Did I make a mistake buying a cropped sensor camera? Especially since I mostly do portrait photography nowadays? Should I have just sold everything I had and started fresh with a full-frame Sony or Nikon?
