I can’t speak about Sony or Nikon as I’ve never used them.

It’s possible (maybe unlikely) that the new Canons use a different pass band profile than their DSLRs.

Certainly an exciting time for new cameras, especially with the potential super fast lenses promised, and it’ll be interesting to see how they fare for astro.
Modern DSLRs like this EOS R, but also the EOS 6D (even the original one) don't need modding anymore. With post processing the weak Halpha signal can easily be stretched to view the red nebulas easily. I have at least that experience with my 6D and the EOS R sensor should be better.
