I'm hearing this a bit too frequently. I have to wonder if Canon has made a bit of a design fib with the shutter stock and IBIS. They don't have that much experience with IBIS on cameras with fast rate and the smaller sensor is considerably lighter than FF...

This isn't a Canon thing. Shutter shock is common with mechanical shutter on all cameras at certain shutter speeds with certain lenses. If this is shutter shock (we haven't heard back from the OP what the shutter mode was), this is perfectly normal. Shutter shock doesn't affect all lenses equally. For example, on the Canon M6II, I've only ever seen shutter shock on IS lenses, and even then the amount varies between lenses. The older the lens and IS mechanism, the more I'd be worried about shutter shock.

Naturally just is just speculation with no hard facts behind it.

Yes.

It is just the kind of mistake that could be made and would explain these reports.

If this is shutter shock, caused by mechanical shutter, there's no mistake. Canon included three different shutter modes on the R7. Use EFCS or e-shutter at the affected shutter speeds with the affected lenses. I never use full mechanical on my R7. There's no reason to, unless you're shooting at really high shutter speeds with very fast lenses (such as F1.4).
