Interesting experiment, with good controls. Looks like 6 stops improvement is the magic number for your setup. if you had to go lower, possibly shooting 5 or more images and then choosing the sharpest one, you could get a stop or two more.

For me IBIS is kind of a moot point for still images, as I shoot moving trains in low light and the shutter speeds even with wide angle lenses for relatively slow-moving freights still have to be around 1/160 - 1/200 second. For me fast, sharp f1.4 primes on my APS-C camera are the only solution, coupled with higher ISOs and DxO Deep prime - lens IS and IBIS won't help me.  IBIS would be helpful for video in stabilizing the composition of the image without a gimbal.
