Ed, yes I did get another FE 2x teleconverter and it is sharp. I've also kept my EF 500/f4 II and my EF 1.4x TC. Using the Metabones EF-to-E T-adapter MkV, I prefer to use that combo on my a7RIII, to shoot at f/5.6 instead of f/11 and take advantage of the a7RIII's much higher pixel-density.
I'm waiting on the Sony 400/f2.8 to put the 2x into a more frequent rotation. I know that you have long EF lens, so I'd recommend getting the Metabones and using those.
When light is good, f/11 is not a problem, but with the two-body rig, I keep my longer lens setup on the a7RIII.
Here's ISO 25600 with my 2x on the 100-400mm. I'd rather shoot at ISO 12,800:
