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.

I don't think it is possible to have no blackout with a shutter. Think about it, the shutter blocks off the sensor with mirrorless.

I think Sony has a sensor or something like that which bypasses the shutter. I'm not sure but the gang Fred Miranda talked about it. No blackout at all apparently.

I'm assuming this is not E shutter but I could be wrong.

The future is going to be backside illuminated (high-end Sony, Nikon, and R3 have already) and eventually global electronic shutter. As these technologies greatly reduce/eliminate rolling shutter combined with flash and illumination synchronization will see mechanical shutters go the way of DLSR flip mirrors (Nikon has already eliminated mechanical shutters on their highest-end models).
