I suppose that IBIS helps with the practicality of these lenses.
I'm less sure about focusing though - even with IBIS, you will end with logs of shake in handheld mode - and precise focusing while your image is shaking to some degree ...
In my book, precise manual (hand-held) focusing reaches its limit at ~50mm. Beyond it's a gamble.
But using the lens on a tripod should be Ok.
The bokeh can work out at times but, yes, generally it is distracting. The Canon RF 600/800 f/11 aren't smooth sailors in this respect as well though. Many long tele zoom lenses are struggle.
