But I doubt that you'd gain a solution to that issue by a switch to Canon,

Damsel flies

Not extreme macro, but I'm extremely impressed.

Maybe not a reason to switch, but certainly something to be aware of.

A reason to NOT switch to Canon is the flawed performance of their current 100mm macro for their mirrorless "RF" mount....

And there are plenty of other lenses to choose from if you don't like that one.

...Not even sure what built-in focus bracketing is available in Canon. I think that some, but not all, Canon mirrorless bodies have it

Yes, indeed, the M6 II, the RP, the R5, the R6 the R7, and probably some others have it.

; be aware that even when the body has it, it only works with certain lenses -- I remember someone complaining in a DPReview post that info about it not being possible with that lens was only found in some obscure place in the lens' user manual.

It works with plenty of lenses, and Google is your friend.

Google is not "my friend". It's a giant corporation sucking up and trying to monetize all information-- and doing so with nearly complete disregard for whether it's correct or incorrect information.

If you actually click on the link, the first search page gives you lots of authoritative and excellent information from Canon, The Digital Picture, and DPR, on Canon lenses that work with focus bracketing.
