Yes, the AF system on the R3 is more advanced and also more fps, but personally I will say the difference between the R3 and R5 AF difference feels like 100% vs 98% kind of difference(I personally really don't like the eye controlled AF) and both are a lot better than 1DX3, but I've only shot them with normal range lenses not the 400L or 600L. Also 20fps is still more than the 1DX3's 14fps, I think at 45MP and 20fps(sounds like a Z9 ) R5 is a great place holder for the coming R1(I think you will want the R1 when it comes out)
The R3 price will drop a lot when R1(60MP+ and 30fps) come out, unless R1 is super expensive(but I doubt they can price it really high consider what the A1 and Z9 cost)

thanks - whilst the R5 is higher res, the AF system on the R3 is more advanced and also more frames per sec

I think a R5 will fit your needs perfectly, get a R5 and wait for R1 it's both fast enough and high MP, I've tested both R3 and R5, honestly if I'm still with Canon right now I would pick R5 over R3 personally because R5 is a much better rounded camera than R3. 24MP in 2022 is just kind sad because look at the competition A1 is 50MP and Z9 is 45MP, I know R3 is not Canon flagship, but if it's not a flagship do not charge a flagship price, charge the A9II price $4500... If we don't need higher MP Canon would not be working on a R1 right now... I don't even know why Canon make a R3, they just need to put a 50MP sensor in it and call it R1 and people will be happily pay $7000 for it.
I don't even think we need 2 line of top model, Canon and Nikon both agreed, that's why Canon killed 1Ds line and Nikon killed whatever after D3x a long time ago, it's been more than 10 years and 3 generations(1DX-D4, 1DX2-D5, 1DX3-D6), I believe they did market research and not enough people buy the more expensive top model.

Depends what you shoot. Sports? Just get the R3. Birds, wildlife? Wait. Anything else? Get the R6 or R5.
