There is no need to have to press the mode buttons to get to video. Simply program the M-fn button to switch between photo and video modes. This makes things much much easier to make the switch.
 Not being critical but this is a perfect example of the R5's configurability. Personally I like the M-fn button just as it is to change its default range of settings - I leave it on ISO by default. I don't do video often enough that I need more than the instant video button with its one setting - 4K 60. This does the occasional landscape panorama for me.
Stills mode is much more complicated. I'm usually in Av mode with mechanical shutter and rarely use M mode. The AF-ON button toggles servo. The * button toggles eye detection, and the AF Point button (not joystick) is set to back button focus with whole field tracking to catch a bird in the sky. I use the rear dial to select between AF methods/areas. The C1 mode is set to electronic shutter, Tv mode and some other optimizations for wildlife. These settings work for me but I wouldn't suggest them for everyone. This is why I suggested the OP experiment and tailor the camera to their shooting style.
