You should have stopped down a little to get more sharpness. Just kidding. I wonder if there's just big sample variations. I thought the DP review samples looked really bad but I also see lot of samples that look really good. I don't mean that as a swipe to this site as I think most galleries really demonstrate lenses well but I was surprised at how the samples for this lens looked.

You might be confusing the 600 and 800 galleries. I thought the 600 gallery had a number of nice shots in it. Admittedly there were a lot of bad slightly missed shots.

One thing to remember is that while this lens is probably razor sharp, at f/11 you will not see razor sharp images on the R5 ever. Not unless they implement a waveguide plasmon aperture in a $699 lens.
