Are the time constrictions due to overheating of the R5 are a problem for you needs?

Do you shoot from a tripod anyways or do the lenses you plan to use have IS?

The OP had clearly stated that he shoots ":handheld".

I shoot video with a C300 MK III and, more recently, with the R5c. On several occasions I have shot 4k with the R5c, handheld, battery grip attached, with an EF lens offering OIS, and found that the OIS, along with the camera's own EIS, had been sufficient to produce smooth video. This might not be the case for someone walking with the camera, but standing in place and panning slowly had worked out just fine. More often than not, however, both of the cameras mentioned above are shot from a monopod with a fluid video head mounted on top. I hope this helps to answer the OP's question.
