Canon's sensor tech is certainly lagging compared to Sony's.

It is well ahead in terms of color...

Not to my tastes.  A while back, DPR posted a bunch of comparisons between Canon, Nikon, and Sony with regards to color.  As it turns out, overall, I favored Sony.  That said, it's my opinion that, since I shoot RAW, getting the color I want is a non-issue with regards to differences between the sensors.

...dual pixel AF...

Yes.

...and thermal noise (but the latter might be due to no IBIS).

I'm not sure this is still the case.  My understanding is the that Z suffers no such issues using both a Sony sensor and IBIS.

BTW, the R sensor has improved dual pixels and microlenses.

Good to hear!  However, I saw a base ISO DR comparison and it was [insignificantly] lower than the 5D4, meaning no difference in electronic noise (at base ISO, anyway) and saturation capacity.
