.... I only started digital photography 5 years ago with a 70D and so am ignorant of Canon's development history.
If processing power is key to handling pro sports / wildlife action, I think the EOS R has a single Digic-8 processor whereas the 1DX-2 has two processors. So logically could they fit two processors into a R body to consequently provide the extra power needed? Doing so might necessitate a slightly larger body, I don't know. Or of course perhaps a next generation single Digic-9(?) might do the job.
I don't know anything about the 1Ds or its spec.
Early on the 1d (up to IV) was APS-H with 2 processors to handle the speed of data and the 1ds had the same 2 processors but ran slower due to the higher mp count for full frame.
All 1d camera’s (APSC and ff) used a processor for running the ‘camera’ functions and a separate processor for the image processing, I hadn’t realised the R only ran one processor, if that’s the case, Canon definitely have the tech to make one perform faster.
