The 600mm f4L IS II that I had for a while needed AFMA of +6 on all of my bodies and it sure made a difference once I corrected it.  The first 400mm f/4 DO mk2 that I tried needed +18 right out of the box.  The DO was so bad that it was exchanged right away.  Neither of those lenses is a budget model.  I wouldn't just trust that because it is an "L" lens that it can't benefit from AFMA.  Having said that my 100-400 mk2, 70-300L, 300mm f/2.8 mk1 and mk2 were all perfect out of the box.  If you are going to spend all that money on a lens I suggest it is worth at least checking that the AF is properly calibrated.
