Add 70-300mm to 50-140mm + 1.4x TC?

Question for forum members who have used the 70-300mm, and the 50-140mm + 1.4x TC combo. I am shooting my kid's youth baseball game. I am limited to where I can shoot from, either through the fence or far away. When I am far away, I use the 50-140mm with the 1.4x TC. The combo works fine with cropping. C-AF is acceptable even on my X-T2.

I would like to move further away so I have more flexibility on where I stand. Question is if adding a 70-300mm is a good choice. I guess I add 200-300mm range to what I already have. How is C-AF on the 70-300mm compare to the 50-140mm lens? Alternative is to add 100-400mm for even more range, but I don't really want to carry a bigger lens.

Thanks.
