I use my zoom all the time for the reasons you speak. Way more flexibility. From my research and experience 400 ISO is the sweet spot for my camera. Does that mean I have to go above that, for sure. I just know then that more grain will likely show. I’m usually just run and gunning b-roll footage for my own personal needs and to help the wife out with her real estate marketing uses. My bread and butter making a living is as an editor. If I were more pro focused on the production side then I would likely invest in cameras and lenses that have greater range and latitude. I like the EOSR for the still shooting more than for the video use.

+1 on Neat Video. The shot you shared should get good results. The trial shows you a result within a box if memory serves. So after doing a test, you will need to purchase it in the end. But it is worth it for the price. Note that it increases render times quite a bit. I have found it to be more effective with render times in Resolve over Premiere.

I have a Canon EOSR which uses a similar sensor to the 5DMK III from what I have read. Best to keep it at 400 iso in my experience. I tend to lean to higher exposure when looking at the histogram as brightening or bringing up the shadows in post tends to make it noisy. It is 8 bit color. Not a lot of room to play with. But I can get some pretty nice results if I follow those guidelines in my experience.
