5dsR time to sell?

As I do not require nearly double the pixel count I am very happy having 30MP images which can compete up to ISO12,800 with my 1Dx very confidently. I rarely use the 1Dx anymore. It is a great all rounder and with the 16-35 f4 I have a very competent landscape body.

I agree with E.J that for overall landscape shooting the A7rII is the one, I just could not justify having a separate body for landscapes any longer and the 5D4 covered both landscape and wildlife nicely.

That said, I think the 5DIV is likely the best all around body for most uses.  I think it's the best all around full frame body out there right now and I've shot with just about all of them.  YMMV

You have used the 99II?

So I find it funny the OP is thinking of jumping from the 5Dsr because I was giving that camera a thought and was maybe going to live with it's lower DR and noise.  I wish the 5D4 was the camera we all hoped it would be...  So confused!  :)
