As my profile pic indicates, I'm leaning towards a wedge camper or similar over an RTT because I want interior room to stand up and change. They share a lot of disadvantages (including weight and having to break camp every morning) but it's worth shopping against your use case.
Do you enjoy going to established campgrounds and spending multiple nights, ranging out for day excursions (hikes, fishing, whatever) while leaving your camp in place? Yeah, skip the RTT.
Do you do extended overland expeditions where you camp a different place every night, or fixed-position boondocking for something like skiing? RTT/camper has a ton of advantages, not least of which is getting a hard start on your cold ones while your buddies are still making/breaking camp twice a day.
Most of the other things can be mitigated (for a RTT, put a ceiling hoist in your garage and you can add/remove it no problem; on the Rivian, I'd just take it off crossbars and all for simplicity), except cost. But don't come at me about shaving single-digit thousands off the total cost if you're buying a Rivian.
