I had the Canon 300 2.8 L USM on the GFX 100s with the Fringer adapter for a few snaps. Contrast AF worked, corner sharpnes was ok wide open and the vignetting was managable. In fact I applied the Adobe profile for the Sony E 16mm 2.8 and it seemed to be a good match.
Edit: it was the first AF version without IS.
Edit: the non IS original version is now on the compatibility list of the Fringer adapter. When I tested it was not officially supported.
Thank you, great info. I will have to look for a Fringer adapter.
I also saw in the compability list that the 200/1.8 is now supported which might be of interest to some, as I found a few forum posts about it not working on GFX during my research on the 300mm.

I have old Canon 200mm f2.8 version I and it works on GXF100s with Fringer adapter. Compatibility wise they say 200mm f2.8 II. Mike Ried uses 200mm f1.8 so maybe ask him. I wish I kept my 300mm f2.8 IS I.
I never use the GFX for any fast action type shots. In this case I had to as it was the only camera with me. I use a Nikon Z9 for sports. I was at a football training camp with both of my sons and only had my GFX kit with me. (we were on a camping trip)
Here are a couple of shots taken with the Canon EF300mm F4 and the Fringer Pro. All shots taken on continuous AF.
Studio shoot with my youngest son Gabriel for the start of football season. Used about 7 different photos for the final composition and 4 lights in studio.

Are there any Nikon F Autofocus adapters that will work with this body?
There's the grossly overpriced Steelsring. It works best with electronically controlled aperture lenses (for G lenses, you're stuck using their manual control, which doesn't always hold in place). The AF response is not, in my opinion, worth the investment.

I find that on the GFX 100S it works very well and the AF is snappy. But as stated the AF only works with G lenses (including the E-variant with electronically controlled diaphragm).

Mine did do better with the PDAF system on my boss' 100S, but it still missed focus quite a bit with my 24/1.8G and 85/1.4G. It was better with the 105/1.4 and PF 300/4, still not perfect.
