Even if the 5DSR resolves a bit more detail, I’d want the R5 for landscape works simply for the dramatically better dynamic range, which is two full stops better in the R5.
Heck, I’d rather use an R8 for landscape work because of the DR. Poor DR for landscape photos is just a royal pain to deal with in a lot of situations.
Certainly that's a matter of individual perspective and priority. I' ve seen the DR charts at DxOmarks and elsewhere based on the sensor analysis, of course. But personally, I have rarely experienced big problems and limitations in real life landscape photography because of the "poor" DR of the 5DsR. Of course, it's wise to pay attention to the correct exposure and follow the ETTR rule. So I usually have had no need to lift the shadows for 2 stops etc. And tools like Topaz, PureRaw etc do an excellent job for me to reduce shadow noise if actually required. In any case, I have not faced a lot of critical situations with the 5DsR, though.
However, I agree that the R5 is more forgiving because of the wider DR span, though, and thus it may require less attention to the exposure in very demanding scenarios and not much post processing either. And of course, the R5 is a very good camera for landscapes, too. So as mentioned in my comment above, it's a personal decision if the noticably higher detail resolution of the 5DsR is needed or advantageous for the work - given the superiority of the R5 in most other areas. And I have the R5, too. But at least for me, the 5DsR does the best job for pure landscape photography, though, - and btw would never exchange it for a 24 Mp R8 therefor, no matter of its DR on paper. Your approach can be different, of course.
