One hope I have now is that Falcon Heavy flies enough to convince Congress
to put the nail in the coffin for SLS and redirect that money elsewhere.


I would agree, but I'm afraid Congress is not that smart. I think you
could probably use Falcon Heavy for any SLS Block 1 missions. If we
really need the capability of SLS Block 2 and BFR doesn't pan out
quickly enough, they could always build the Falcon Super Heavy with
four side boosters that Musk has talked about.



Or more likely, re-scope the mission fly on multiple Falcon Heavy flights.
Fly Falcon Heavy multiple times and you're still cheaper than SLS.
