G 200..600 works absolutely fine for other things than Safari and wildlife
100-400 range is quite normal range in landscape photography, it’s often used for separating distant subjects. Take pictures of fine details in nature. In woodlands it can give a magic like feeling due to its compression, especially if the in hilly areas and you get there when there is still fog in the fall. It draws in the mountains instead of miniaturising them like a UW. So it’s very useful.. 400- 600mm is typically in the long end, not many landscape photographers go that long, there are a few but tend to use teleconverters as the 200-600 is borderline too big and heavy unless you see yourself driving in close proximity to the location, or if it’s the only lens that you take with you. I find the Tamron 150-500 a bit more manageable as it’s 400g lighter, it doesn’t go to 600mm but personally 500mm is plenty, but personally I would find anything exceeding 1.2kg to heavy for landscape, but then I also walk there.
I concure, I personally shot some landscape at 300mm but extremely rarely at 500mm. For long tele for landscaping I prefer to do that with a 70-200 on a FF body or becoming a 100-300 on my apsc body100-400 range is quite normal range in landscape photography, it’s often used for separating distant subjects.

My preferences is a 100-400, a 70-200 is actually long enough in most cases but the extra reach dos give you more framing options, so I prefer 100-400, especially as the lenses tend to weight and cost the same (mostly because the 100-400 is variable)
I have seen some crazy one who dragged a 400 or 600mm fast prime with then, so if one really wants to it can be done
Yes. 200-600 is a bit long and definitely heavy for landscape shooting. If landscape shooting was the main task I’d recommend the 100-400. But as shown, you can still get some very nice results using it the 200-600.100-400 range is quite normal range in landscape photography, it’s often used for separating distant subjects.

Depends on the distance & atmospherics of any given day especially between 500-600mm. This lens is a cut above similar variants from Tamron & Sigma IMO.
