Setting aside the larger aperture of the 28-70/2 - which is clearly the reason to get this lens - I am curious how the two lenses compare in terms of IQ - and particularly sharpness - at competing focal lengths and apertures?

The RF 28-70 is a very good lens. But it’s slightly behind the times already if you compare it to the RF 70-200. It’s a little unfortunate but the new 70-200 is just a little better across the board. If you think accuracy in all lighting conditions is a goal for a lens then for sure the 70-200 is better.
