My mind is always split between the excitement of gear novelty
and being honest about my photography skills
. So far, I've managed not to buy anything for the last three years, but when I look at my own skills in the mirror it doesn't feel as good
as if I'd go buy a bigger camera instead

Cameras aren't like Yogurt, there is nothing on the box saying "Best before 6/25/2019".

Pentax is fading away (no mirrorless etc, only 1 camera and 1 lens in 2019 so far) , but the same lenses are more expensive than ever...
It is definitely the wrong time to switch because you may end-up with a bunch of lenses of an orphan mount. No one currently know what mirrorless mount will survive, and it's pretty sure that Canon EF and Nikon F mounts will not get more investments in the future. My advice, wait a couple of years and then reassess the situation.
