You might have got away with it if you had a APS-C body (480mm FF equivalent FoV), but 300mm on a FF really is going to be VERY limiting.

I have a EF 100-400L ii on a 6D ii (same 26Mp sensor as RP) and it is limiting a lot of the time - before the 6D ii I had a 70D which worked quite well with the 400mm.

Perhaps a second hand EF 100-400L ii or a RF 600mm / 800mm ?
