I've never had any issues with my 300II and extenders other than the expected IQ degradation and decreased AF performance. I didn't love them on the 1DX bodies but the lens + extenders got a new life with mirrorless. The only issue with big whites on ML is it can be difficult to motor through the AF range and lock from a very OOF starting point. What method are you using for focusing on the R5? It sounds like you might be using auto detect? I use old school focus points as my base and put auto detect on a back button. I don't find auto detect reliable enough to use it as my default AF method.
If you are shooting wildlife or birds, I would look at getting a 500II and using it bare or with the 1.4xIII. It's very sharp wide open. I own the 100-500 and it's fine for people who are okay with smaller apertures. My 100-300 performs extremely well with both RF extenders but if I was shooting wildlife I would want the rumored RF 200-500 f/4, or something like the new affordable Nikon 180-600 as second option. You could also look at the 100-400II with extenders on the R5, but you won't be getting those large apertures like you are with 300II at 300/420/600
