I agree with this, well if you are in a hurry you can at least increase your fees. Electrum will let you set your own fees.
Important to note that in Electrum, you can actually see how far your transaction is from the mempool tip when it's still unconfirmed. The XX.XX MB size you can find in the date section represents the distance.
And even if you don't have RBF, child-pays-for-parent transactions work! Unconfirmed inputs can help in confirming the previous transaction if the fees are high enough to compensate the size.
