Not at all the same lens, but I've just tried the R7 with the EF 100-400 L II.

It is fabulous. Very fast AF, everything just locks on and tracks. The AF seems faster and better than with 5D IV or 90D. Even with a 1.4x extender AF is good and fast.
So with your 300mm f/2.8 it should be fine. Or better than fine.

I wouldn't hesitate.

Yes newer lenses like the EF 100-400 mk2 work without any limitations.  It’s the previous generation and older that have the limitations.
