... For my bird photography, I find myself always using crop mode on the R5 and also wishing for more subject differentiation and nicer blurred backgrounds.

If you're always cropping your shots a lot,  subject differentiation and nice blurred backgrounds are a function of the size of your lens aperture, not the size of the sensor. If the distances are the same and the focal length and aperture are constant, the geometry doesn't change, so the subject differentiation and background blur won't change, whatever the crop.  You need a bigger aperture (in mm, not f/ number) to improve those things.
