adapters add movement and flex. have you ever seen how much movement there is when you stack a 2x extender with an adapter ?

I'd make a couple of points about that.

For one, a 2x extender will most often suggest a rig that works better with a full-sized camera anyway.  I suspect that for a number of reasons, mirrorless 1-digit and 2-digit Canon cameras using EF lenses will always be "full sized."

Moreover, if the adapter is made to be semi-permanent--removable only with tools or maybe even requiring professional service--it can be perfectly solid.
