Smaller chip cameras still get plenty of professional use so is hardly a dead end. Many news organizations continue to use them and buy them and spec them for broadcast. And you can't get the giant zoom range in a small package with a big sensor like you can with a small chip cameras. Short of paying mega $$$ for a not-so-compact Cine Servo lens. Decent codecs also make a big difference that really separate pro gear from consumer grade.

Exactly, no XLR, no ND filter in XC10, and just add the hilarious prices of CFast2 cards just to be able to record 4K. Even the "consumer" Sony A6300 can get an XLR module. In a couple of months, hundreds of affordable cameras will shoot excellent 4K videos on regular SD cards. I have a decent 1" camera Nikon J5, but definitely, I wouldn't buy any camera with only 1" again, since their low light capability is way inferior to what we can have today from affordable APS-C cameras. To me 1" is dead end.
Canon XC10 versus Sony RX10 III. The Canon is underrated!
