Samyang only has 1 RF AF lens, and at 14mm it's prob not being challenged very much.

Not proving anything indeed.

Still hoping they port their 45mm 1.8. That thing is the perfect budget standard prime.

No IS.....

I have mixed feelings on the IS thing. I've discovered that it's only valuable for very specific shooting disciplines. IME, those are limited to low light, low shutter speed scenes- i.e. handheld nightscapes and street scenes- or video. Coming from Sony FE I was apprehensive about losing IBIS, but now my main indoor kit is the R + an unstabilized 50mm. I'm honestly debating selling my RF 35 1.8- it went from being a main selling point for me jumping over to a dust collector.

Plus the R5/R6 will have IBIS which eliminates that gap as well. So I wouldn't be apprehensive or hesitant about unstabilized glass at all if either of those bodies are in your future plans.
