Has folding bikes replaced normal bikes for anyone?

Looking at BikeFriday Pocket Rocket Pro it seems to do everything beside serious road racing. Uses regular std bike parts, but just with smaller wheels and foldable. Folding bikes are a compromise, but has anyone completely forgotten about their normal bikes after getting one?

Got a carbon gravel/adventure/cyclocross bike this year that I commute and done some light weekend touring with. I've been been happy, but can't take it easily while travelling on vacation. It is making me rethink a folding bike would be better.

Should I
  1. Supplement my existing bike by buying a Brompton for travel. I like it's ability to fold small and fast for city commute, but it won't be as comfortable or versatile for touring.
  2. Sell my bike and replace it entirely with a Pocket Rocket. Give up a bit on folding speed, ease and size. This is under the assumption the pocket rocket could come close to replacing my normal sized bike.
