As the owner of an RF 28-70 and an EF 24-70 f/2.8, here would be my take. Wait for the RF 24-70 f/2.8 unless:

1) you shoot at the long end of the lens primarily AND isolation from the background is important, like in portraits. As you go wider the difference is minimized; OR

2) you shoot in low light situations where you are right on the ISO/noise limit and the extra stop would be critical for noise reduction.

Of course if you like shooting at slower objects at long shutter speeds then you would certainly want the IS.
