@owners of RF lenses, which ones offer significant improvements to the best of the EF range?
The DXO Mark rankings (https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/) don't have many listed yet. The highest ranking EF and RF in terms of sharpness remains the EF 300 2.8, just above the new RF 135 1.8 and the other tested RF lenses are relatively low in the rankings vs EF [*edit this is due to many of the RF lenses being tested on Canon R vs EF lenses being tested on 5DSR].
YouTube reviews showing side-by-side AF tracking don't show any advantage of RF, despite extra data pins (example

).
I'm possibly tempted by the RF 135 1.8 to replace the EF 135 2.0. Not sure about the RF 85 1.2 as the EF 85 1.4 is already very good and has IS which I find useful.
Thoughts?
