So the manual doesn't state anything regarding incompatibilities.
A malfunctioning spot AF is not a big deal - if you know it. I reckon spot AF just doesn't work reliably with an f/7.1 aperture. On Sony cameras, the AF switches to a broader AF field, if it has issues. The EOS R sticks to the setting.
Note that the spot AF works nicely in lab conditions.
Yesterday I shot another set of 50 images mostly at 500mm. Most images were motion blurred (surfers) - which was my fault (in combination with the f/7.1 aperture) because the shutter speed was not sufficient. There was at least one shot which was sharp - albeit not usable because the composition was s**t.
One conclusion is certainly that it isn't a sports lens at f/7.1 - you just end with very high ISOs in such cases.
