None of your points are a problem for me, for me a Leica M beats any dslr for how I shoot I will probably never buy a digital M because I prefer film m'sWell, I am not so sure that Mirrorless is "the future". As already mentioned by the OP, there are certain drawbacks of mirrorless.
Top Autofocus in any light and under hardest conditions is still the domain of DSLRs. This problem is still unsolved. And focus is nothing to sneeze at. Missed focus cannot be fixed in post and means in most cases the shot is simply unuseable.
The second advantage is of course a real, optical viewfinder. Not a television with all kinds of oddities, such as lag in bad light, flimmering under artificial light, lack of resolution, etc. I wouldnt really count this unless its at least a full frame DSLR, though; smaller cameras have horrible, dark viewfinders that will for example not allow you to really check focus.
The third advantage is simply sensor size and sophistication. Ignoring the special case Leica M - no autofocus, optical viewfinder limited to about 28-70mm for good performance, and extreme price - there is simply nothing out there to compete with DSLRs right now. Sony FE will allow you to use the same lenses as Leica M with an adapter, and might give you pretty good autofocus performance in good light. Thats the closest we get right now. Well, at least the next generation will have sensor based stabilization - thats a plus.
Right now, a Canon 6D or Nikon D750 ist a workhorse that has no equivalent in the mirrorless camera section.
What is without question is that mirrorless cameras will stay. They definitely have their uses. But I'm not so sure DSLRs will actually go.
