It says lenses before R5 may require firmware upgrade or not supported?????

For coordinated control. So, perhaps you'll only get 5 stops of IS on some lenses. Big deal.

Those CIPA stabilization numbers need to be taken with a pound of salt.  They are only about a postcard viewed at normal viewing distance, and they subject the camera and lens to all axes of shake, where real photography often only has significant pitch/yaw shake.  For 100% pixel views, they predict very little about pixel-level stability.
