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.

I guess it depends what you shoot. Maybe it's a no go for ball sports or fast panning in say auto racing, but with fast wildlife including BIFs I am yet to see a real issue with the R6 electronic shutter. So my R6 for my issues isn't limited in that way. I am not denying the stacked R3 is not way better, just that the limitations of ES and bit depth is not quite the same for everyone and every use case.

We don't have much issue with ES on the R5 either. For the auto events if there is somee racing happening then as long as the background is just hedges or tarmac again no issues. If you happen to catch a tall building in the background then don't 😊
But should that be necessary then drop down to a little slow in MS which is the same speed as the R3.
If the R3 can cope with our test rings trying to image fans without distortion that would be awesome.
