Some of your options are still pretty large, would you consider one of those Sigma/Tamron 1×0-400, or 150-600 long tele's in an EF mount with adapter?

It'll get you some additional range and maybe ~1 stop gain at the long end ( at the expense of dual IS).

It's not an all Canon solution, but it might get you closer (in terms of FL) to things you want to shoot.

Of, you could shoot in crop mode.

I still take m43 gear when I need to save space and need the extra range at longer FLs. In the end, everything is a compromise in one way or another...

I used my Sigma 150-600 on my R6 (and previous dslrs) and it was uncomfortable to carry more than a mile or so. I bought the RF100-400 and that is a nice relatively light setup. And since I got the R7 and RF800, the Sigma has sat on the sideline.
