No AF with 5D II or 7D.

You will not have autofocus with the 5D II or original 7D.  I used to shoot the 5D II for landscapes/architecture along with a 24 MP APS-C for sports.  I suggest starting out by adding an APS-C first.  The T7i or 77D would likely be an affordable start with your 70-300.  If needed you could later switch to the 400/5.6 and 1.4x and still get AF.  Stretching your budget to the 80D, or better yet the 90D, would be worthwhile.
