I haven't read the compatibility list of EF lenses with the R3 but for the R5 (and 6) a good number are 20fps compatible. Maybe have a read what Canon say is able to give the full compliance.

FWIW, with fast action, the R6 is limited to 12 FPS because you have to use the MS due to significant rolling shutter on the R6. Then, H+ is limited even further on the R6 due to a narrower set of older lenses that support H+. On the other hand, the R3 gets 30 FPS in ES with virtually the same rolling shutter as MS mode and Canon has not listed any lenses that would cause the 30 FPS to be limited.

We are shooting R5s and use ES for some set ups, mainly rotating machinery.
We did have to shoot a test platform which had a fan to the front. So ES was used for some shots and MS for some others due to the distortion to the front fan. EF 100-400II used and high ISO (above 10k).
We do not yet have an opportunity to try the R3 as it's not available. The R6 trial was mostly an issue related to the resolution.
We previously used 5D4 and R to cover similar work.

Reading more recently it has been suggested to use the 1.6x crop which we will investigate.

Some video modes have a much improved rolling shutter on the R5 which is also really helpful to us. Essentially modes which can get a frame of data off quicker.

During the summer months we cover automotive and agricultural events and the updated vehicle tracking I hope will benefit us.
