I was bored by the zoo and the city scenes are actually a better stress test anyway.
Animals etc tend to be in the center whereas you haven a surrounding environment in the city. The sample images from the Sony FE 70-300mm look better than the formal performance of the thing (not so hot borders).
Fuji's EXIF data isn't overly accurate - I suspect that those 2x 359.6mm are actually more like 390mm anyway. As you may know many Fujinon zooms require a bit of an extra kick to lock them at their extremes.
The bokeh test in the lab showed a few weaknesses but no drama. I've seen much worse in this class.
Interestingly the "raw" distortion is pincushion-type throughout the whole range (well, the tested spots in there).
