I've only used this lens for about 3 weeks and am somewhat disappointed by the lack of dust-proofing. There's already some dust behind the front element (I even have a UV filter attached in front).

A UV filter does absolutely nothing for dust (or moisture for that matter) from getting into the lens, particularly on a lens that's not sealed to begin with.  Even on a weather sealed lens it won't make any difference unless the lens manual specifically says to use a filter to seal the front element.

My bag may not be devoid of dust, but my EF-S 18-135 and RF 800mm f11 barely have any dust from being stored in the same bag.

Nice colors in the background on this one.
