Mu R5 (now on v 1.5) just locked up again today while connected to EOS Utility for remote shooting. The communications suddenly stopped, and I found an unresponsive body with blank screen. Had to remove the battery to reset and then everything's fine. This happens occasionally, but just an annoyance, not a big problem.

It locked up again when I tried to turn the camera off while connected to EOS Utility. This time the top display said "Saving" and the main display said busy, but it never finished. Turned the camera off and on again and same thing. Had to pull the battery and then everything was fine.

Note that it also hung the EOS Utility on my computer. I could not shut it down normally and had to terminate the process in task manager, then the same thing happened to EOS utility when I restarted it with the camera still locked up.
