I think you will need an external device for faster transfers from your SD card. Most built-in laptop SD card readers aren't made to run fast, so you can get a USB 3.0 device like this one can help with that (just an example, I'm not sure if it's the best one).
I think your two choices are pretty solid. Whichever you end up choosing, make sure that the configuration comes with at least 16GB of RAM (for your programs and Chrome) and your target amount of SSD storage space. These ultrathin & light laptops will almost always come with a PCIe SSD (they're slightly faster than SATA-based SSDs), so don't worry about the transfer speeds of the SSD.
Most newer cameras have Bluetooth or wifi for that purpose, but in the meantime you can try something like this if your phone has MicroUSB OTG (or a Type-C version if you phone has Type-C).
Adobe has a mobile version of Lightroom. It's supposed to support raw formats, but I'm not sure how you get a .cr2, .arw, .nef, .dng, whatever onto iOS. I'll let you sort that part out.
Last time I did something similar I used a USB-C card reader attached to my Blackberry to push photos to a Dropbox folder on the go. I used .jpgs and Snapseed (App Store and Play Store) in the middle and left the raw files for later archival.
The time before that I used WiFi transfer from an A7S2 and did everything in Google Photos. Those were snapshots of friends at a theme park so I wanted the simplest/fastest method.

Get a motherboard with USB 3.1 and get an adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSSHZ63/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AgEAAAAAAAAAAPPZ
That's going to be 10Gb/s which should be more than fine for your needs. Keeping it SFF makes this really your only option unless you want to get one with a 5 1/2 inch drive bay you can attach via SATA, or getting a MitX board for a SD card pci-e card.
