From what you write it is clear you are an experienced photographer. So you should be able to decide if f/2.8 is a must for you or not. If you shoot mainly in studio with controlled lightning, I think the f/4 might not be a problem.

I am surprised about your AF issues with EF 70-200/2.8 III on R5. I have version II of this lens on R6 and it focuses perfectly with much bigger hit rate than it did on 5D mk III.

Edit: now I noticed the original post I replied on is 6 months old .
