Definitely the best is the one you've got - unless you've got more than one and you have to choose - and pick unwisely?Remember, the best camera is the one you have on you. It's all about the moment and capturing it as best you see it, composition is the main thing and remembering what is it that you are actually photographing? There's lots of tricks to photography, but ultimately it boils down to you and how you compose the image and that applies whether you have a smartphone camera or a fancy pants DSLR with all of the bells and whistles.
I've got little to add * to this thread re gear suggestions as I don't have the same requirements as you and I'm way out of date re kit specs anyway.
However, re comments about composition, my 'mantra' - nicked from a US 'people' photographer some years ago - was :
Light / Background / Composition / Pose.
Although my interest - in the past when waving 'proper' gear at subject matter - and a totally different genre, these words / advice resonated because of my approach at the time.
How they can be utilised by someone travelling, and not keen on stopping for longish periods I have no idea - all I know is that I've seen many photos of the same (famous) scenes / landscapes and the ones that always stand out are those with decent lighting.
* A neighbour has a DJI pocket of some sort and I've been pretty impressed by its capabilities - but suspect it's not robust enough for your purpose?
