All I can say is I found the IS of my Sigma Sports really impressive, even on my 32Mp M6II. I've never used the Canon though.
Overall, I'm really impressed by the Sigma.

I think I checked it all. The state of IS is shown on screen and it reports that it's switched on but it doesn't seem to work. I'll contact the rental company
I think there might be something wrong with the IS of that lens.
Yes, there probably is. I called and went back to the rental company, although the store only is a pickup/return point for the rental company. I explained my problem and showed my findings on my own body. They agreed with me that it should be stabilized and that there's actually no difference between IS on and IS off.
Unfortunately they didn't have another copy of the 70-200 II available for me at that time. So I evaluated the Canon using high shutter speeds only. Luckily, it was a very bright day.
But overall I like the Sigma more. Although a bit bigger and heavier, it's also much sharper at 70-135mm wide open
That's the most important part for me. I don't need 200mm that much for my portraits, so at 200mm I'm stopping down most of the time anyway.
that the Canon 70-200 II. At least the copy I had
At the long end, the differences are very minor in my opinion.
All the recent 70-200mm f/2.8 options are very close optically. The specific copy might matter more.
They all have their strongs and 'weaknesses', although you can't actually speak of weaknesses with the current generations. They're all great lenses indeed.
I would prefer the lower weight and the focus breathing of the Tamron as that focus breathing gives more flexibility indoors for portraits in tight spaces. The Tamron doesn't give in camera corrections for vignetting.....
I use the long end a lot as well, for close up of flowers etc. and then the focus breathing becomes a disadvantage. And the Tamron is slightly softer at the long end compared to the Sigma, although you probably have to pixel peep for that
