I don’t find the swapping lenses on the adapter as wonky as you suggest, but I do find it a chore to juggle a mixture of RF lenses and more than one EF lens, requiring the adapter to come on and off all the time.

So, I went out and bought myself a second adapter (a plain one, since the control ring adapter is expensive). When I want to use an RF lens along with two EF lenses, I would keep an adapter glued to each EF lenses, and swap them as though all three were RF lenses. Works very well.

This sounds extravagant, but not really. The plain Canon adapter only costs about $100, less if you take advantage of marketing campaigns. (Mine ended up costing about $20 after a rebate.) Commlite apparently sells one at much lower price, although I have yet to see any report on whether it actually works.

That's actually a (really) good idea. Kudos.
