My hands-on experience with 1.4x and 2x v III extenders with a number of EF lenses is the use of the technique of AI Servo. The AF motor from off / on is 'sluggish' where the compensation technique is to constantly engage the AF motor via AI Servo. After that change, claiming there's "problems" is just repeating made up BS found on FB or his cousin UHH ...
The photographer might also assure a fresh battery and / or a battery pack if not shooting with the dual batteries of the 1-series bodies, but AI Servo is needed no matter the body and onboard power options.
Here's an image the violates all the online expert's knowledge. a) IS active at slow 1/320 sec b) IS active on a tripod c) 2x extender for a sharply focused image. Which part of the image demonstrates an oft-repeated (parroted) 25% loss of sharpness?

There's no evidence of TC impact in this image, although for a static subject, you might consider a slower shutter speed if you find it's pushing your ISO unnecessarily high. You might look too at your colorspace when creating JPEGs for online posting.

I agree about the learning curve. I bought the R5 but kept the 5D IV because I have a collection of EF L quality lenses and it is still a great camera. With the R5 I started with the 24-70 f:2.8. Then I got the 24-240 mm f:4.0-6.3 which is not an L series but is a very sharp and great lens and not that expensive. Now I have the Canon 100-500 on backorder. For everything else I intend to use the EF lenses with the Control Ring EF to RF adapter. It works very well. The R5 is an amazing camera and it is probably the one I will use most but the 5D IV is also an amazing camera.
