According to some homemade tests AF should work at much smaller apertures than DSLRs.
I've tried masking the front element of my 100-300 on a G5, masked down to F/16 AF worked perfectly, as easily as without the mask.
Tried the same with a Nikon J5 with a 30-110 masked to F/11 it also worked perfectly with no hunting at all, even focusing on a white wall (very little detail). Also PDAF appeared to work, it wasn't as it happens in low light when the camera reverts to CADF, there was zero hunting.
Although at this point it's probably a bit useless since there appear to be no TC/lens combination that does this, but it might be useful in the future, so it's good to know.
