Is H+ even active with electronic shutter?

Yes you can select it, but in checking, it does not make a difference if you are using electronic shutter. All 3 (Slow, High, and High+) continuous drive modes are 20 shots per second. With electronic shutter effectively you have single shot or 20 frames per second. The Slow, H, and H+ (and battery level) only come into play with EFC and full mechanical.

Lots of complaints as to why Canon did not add FPS control when released and FW updates.

It would be nice to have, but what I really want is some kind of optional audible feedback.

I have tried using EFC to slow down the shutter rate, but I find it harder to smoothly trace the airplanes in the viewfinder. Also, shooting airplanes at low shutter speeds, it does help to have more pictures to choose from. At low shutter speeds and long focal lengths, less than 1 in 20 might be good, so I would typically keep the frame rate high anyway.

I think the R3 offers no blackout in EFC? The high end Sony does and was one reason why I almost went to Sony when deciding to go all out ML.
