For anyone having lockups, I think it's worth mentioning if you were using OEM or third-party of anything when any lock-ups happened.

I know for me, when I used LP-E6 (generic) and a Viltrox adapter, I had lock-ups occasionally or it seemed like the camera would reboot and I could just continue shooting. If I use the Weebill S on the R5 USB ports, I get occasional error messages where I have to turn the camera off and then back on. If I use an old generic 2x extender, the camera gives me an error and power cycles if I do bursts.

Outside of that, I get no lock-ups and I use all Sigma glass, 35mm Art, 85mm Art, 14-24mm Art, 150-600mm C. I now have a Canon ring and ND adapter. I also use a Canon 2x III extender now and I have no issues either with the 150-600mm or a canon 70-200mm II.

I'm not making the case that you won't get lock-ups with OEM but at least for me, it helped.
