But now, with RF lenses you'll simply lose access to a certain camera setting until you remove the hood. Alternatively, you'll need to have two dials assigned to the same setting, or simply set the Lens Control Ring to OFF.

According to docs, by default the control ring performs no function. So if you reverse the hood you are not losing any camera setting function.

If you assign a function to the control ring and then want to shoot with the hood reversed, then you are blocking access to a function that you assigned.
