Vitrox EF-R2 Ef-RF adaptor - compatibility with large Canon white lenses?

Hello,

I'm about to upgrade from a 5D mark iii to a R5 or R6*, and have ordered a Vitrox EF-R2 adaptor (so I can use EF mount lenses), which was recommended by a local shop (and is widely available online) - https://viltroxstore.com/products/viltrox-ef-r2-lens-mount-adapter

The local store and online stores seem to imply it is compatible with EF lenses, but in fact Vitrox have a compatibility list of the lenses they've actually tested against.  This doesn't include any of the big primes, and in my case specifically, a Canon 500mm f/4 II IS, with Canon 1.4x II teleconverter.   Has anyone had any experience about whether the combination would work fine please?

Kind regards,
Richard.

*Still can't decide which, as do wildlife photography and not sure either is perfect!
